Scenario You have been asked to give a presentation based on your work and research on a clinical problem in your practice setting. The purpose is to lay out the evidence and a potential implementation plan to your colleagues in order to bridge the gap between the evidence and the practice in order to improve the quality and outcomes of care.
Instructions Identify a clinical problem in your work setting (utilizing data to identify areas for improvement in patient care/reduce patient falls while admitted) and develop an implementation plan to carry out your evidence-based practice proposal using a presentation. Your Implementation Plan should include the following: • Background on the clinical problem. •
PICOT question. • Stakeholders that will be impacted. • Action plan for implementation. • Potential barriers to project implementation. • Baseline data that will be needed to evaluate outcomes. • Search strategy and databases used. • Summary of the evidence with a critical appraisal of its quality. The bullet points below correspond to the grading criteria in the rubric. • Develop a PICOT question for a chosen clinical problem. o Include a graphic that is relevant to the clinical problem. o Provide a background on the clinical problem identified. •
Outline an action plan to implement the evidence-based project that includes: o The recommended practice change. o Proposed timeline for implementation. o The tools or resources that will be needed to support the project. • Identify the stakeholders, opportunities for innovation, and potential barriers to the practice change needed for project implementation. o
Who are the stakeholders that will be impacted? o What are areas of the project that present opportunities for innovation? o What are the potential barriers, such as a lack of knowledge, time, skill level, motivation, or resources that could impact project implementation? • Propose outcome criteria to evaluate the evidence-based practice project and how they will be measured. o How will outcomes be measured? o
How do your outcomes align with the Quadruple Aim? How will your outcome measures inform evidence-based practice, guidelines, or policies? •
Evaluate the evidence that supports the need for practice change. Describe your search strategy and databases that were used. Summarize your findings with a critical appraisal of the quality, relevance, and validity of your resources. Note ethical considerations such as informed consent, protection of participant rights, and potential conflicts of interest. •
Convey purpose of the presentation, in an appropriate tone and style, incorporating supporting evidence and adhering to organizational, professional, and scholarly communication standards. • Integrates relevant and credible sources of evidence to support assertions, using current APA style. Submission Requirements PowerPoint • Font and font size: Appropriate size and weight for a presentation, generally 24–28 points for headings; no smaller than 18 points for bullet-point text. Use a suitable professional typeface, such as Times or Arial, throughout the presentation. •
Length of presentation: 7-9 slides not including title or reference slide with speaker notes. • Number of references: Cite a minimum of 3–5 sources of current scholarly or professional evidence that support your evaluation, recommendations, and plans. Current source material is defined as no older than five years unless it is a seminal work. • APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style.
