Assignment: Evidence-Based Project, Part 4: Recommending an Evidence-Based Practice Change

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)

Think of something specific that you (or someone else in your culture now) might think of as being “just different” between men and women, especially as it relates to their bodies and physical appearance. Then challenge yourself to reimagine a society restructured so that those differences would not be as evident to you as they are now.

What is it about your society right now that emphasizes/exaggerates those differences, and why? What benefits and drawbacks might currently be tied to this practice?

With the rise of cloud computing technology, marketing is becoming more and more data-driven.

/in /by

Here are the topics for the discussion board. You will only need to choose one point to discuss.

OPTION 1 – With the rise of cloud computing technology, marketing is becoming more and more data-driven. Marketing technology presents a bewildering choice of software services for businesses looking to improve their management of digital media. Why is this software so important and what kind of insights can companies gain from using it? How is this technology changing how businesses can interact with their customers? How might data security change how this kind of software is used in the future?

OPTION 2 – What roles do visual aesthetics and design play in advertising? As people start to shop more online, user-friendly technology is becoming more important. What are some features that bother you when shopping online? Describe the importance of user interfaces? Quibi is an example of an online streaming company that has specifically modified its shows to be watched on a mobile device by making the run times shorter and allowing the user to be able to choose between different screen orientations. Can you think of another example of a company that has done something similar?

OPTION 3 – What makes influencer marketing more advantageous than traditional advertising methods? What are the downsides? How might influencer marketing change? Think from both the perspective of the company, the influencer, and customers. Support answer with examples where possible.

For each initial post, you need to use 1 external reference AND one reference from the textbook information to support your content.

For each response, you need to use 1 external reference OR one reference from the textbook information to support your content.

In multiple professions, leaders might lead in one situation, but follow in another

/in /by

In multiple professions, leaders might lead in one situation, but follow in another. For example, a manager might lead a specific team but still report up to a director, or a member of upper management, in a follower capacity. Consider what you read in the module resources, then consider your own past and current roles. Describe a time when you were a leader or a follower on a team in a given situation.

In your initial post, do the following:

  • In the subject line of your post, indicate whether you are providing an example of yourself as a leader or a follower.
  • Briefly describe the situation.
  • Indicate why you feel you were either a leader or a follower in the given situation.

Respond to at least two of your peers. If you gave an example of yourself as a follower, try to respond to someone who gave an example as a leader, and vice versa. Then, take the position of someone on the team in a leader or follower role and discuss the following:

  • Identify your role as either a leader or a follower.
  • Discuss the impact your role would have on the situation and the team.
