– **Stakeholders**: Identify the stakeholders involved.
– **Risks**: Discuss the general risks associated with change implementation.

### Slide 4: Proposed Evidence-Based Change in Practice
– **EBP Approach**: Introduce your evidence-based idea for change.
– **Decision Making**: Discuss the EBP approach used in decision making.
– **Further Research**: Mention if further research is needed.

### Slide 5: Plan for Knowledge Transfer
– **Knowledge Creation**: Describe how new knowledge will be created.
– **Dissemination**: Explain the strategies for disseminating this knowledge.
– **Adoption & Implementation**: Outline how the organization will adopt and implement the change.

### Slide 6: Dissemination Strategy
– **Strategy**: Describe your strategy for disseminating the results.
– **Rationale**: Provide a rationale for why you chose this strategy.

### Slide 7: Measurable Outcomes
– **Outcomes**: List the measurable outcomes you aim to achieve.
– **Implementation**: Explain how these outcomes will be measured and monitored.

### Slide 8: Lessons Learned – Critical Appraisal Summary
– **Summary**: Provide a summary of the critical appraisal of the four peer-reviewed articles.
– **Evaluation Table**: Share key insights from completing the Evaluation Table within the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template.

### Slide 9: Lessons Learned – Insights Gained
– **Insights**: Explain what you learned from the critical appraisal process.
– **Application**: Discuss how these insights will inform your proposed change.

### Additional Content for Narration:
– Ensure each slide is narrated to provide a detailed explanation of the content.
– Keep each narration concise, aiming for about 1-2 minutes per slide.

### APA Citations
– Include APA citations for all supporting peer-reviewed articles and other references.
– Place citations on relevant slides or in a references section at the end of the presentation.

### Sample Slide Content:

#### Slide 2: Healthcare Organization Overview
– **Narration**: “Our healthcare organization, XYZ Hospital, is a mid-sized community hospital known for its patient-centered care. The organizational culture emphasizes collaboration, continuous learning, and patient safety. Currently, the organization is moderately ready for change, with a supportive leadership team but some resistance among frontline staff.”

#### Slide 4: Proposed Evidence-Based Change in Practice
– **Narration**: “Based on our EBP approach, we propose implementing a standardized handoff protocol to reduce communication errors during patient transfers. This change is supported by evidence from recent studies showing a significant reduction in errors and improved patient outcomes with standardized protocols. Further research may be needed to tailor the protocol to our specific setting.”

By following this structured approach and incorporating detailed narration, you can create a comprehensive and effective PowerPoint presentation for your evidence-based practice change proposal.

 

The collection of evidence is an activity that occurs with an endgame in mind. For example, law enforcement professionals collect evidence to support a decision to charge those accused of criminal activity. Similarly, evidence-based healthcare practitioners collect evidence to support decisions in pursuit of specific healthcare outcomes.

In this Assignment, you will identify an issue or opportunity for change within your healthcare organization and propose an idea for a change in practice supported by an EBP approach.

To Prepare:

Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you critically appraised in Module 4, related to your clinical topic of interest and PICOT.
Reflect on your current healthcare organization and think about potential opportunities for evidence-based change, using your topic of interest and PICOT as the basis for your reflection.
Consider the best method of disseminating the results of your presentation to an audience.

The Assignment: (Evidence-Based Project)

Part 4: Recommending an Evidence-Based Practice Change

Create an 8- to 9-slide narrated PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:

Briefly describe your healthcare organization, including its culture and readiness for change. (You may opt to keep various elements of this anonymous, such as your company name.)
Describe the current problem or opportunity for change. Include in this description the circumstances surrounding the need for change, the scope of the issue, the stakeholders involved, and the risks associated with change implementation in general.
Propose an evidence-based idea for a change in practice using an EBP approach to decision making. Note that you may find further research needs to be conducted if sufficient evidence is not discovered.
Describe your plan for knowledge transfer of this change, including knowledge creation, dissemination, and organizational adoption and implementation.
Explain how you would disseminate the results of your project to an audience. Provide a rationale for why you selected this dissemination strategy.
Describe the measurable outcomes you hope to achieve with the implementation of this evidence-based change.
Be sure to provide APA citations of the supporting evidence-based peer reviewed articles you selected to support your thinking.
Add a lessons learned section that includes the following:

A summary of the critical appraisal of the peer-reviewed articles you previously submitted
An explanation about what you learned from completing the Evaluation Table within the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template (1-3 slides)
