Evidence-Based Practice Proposal

  Evidence-Based Practice Proposal Order Description developing a formal, evidence-based practice proposal. The proposal is the plan for an evidence-based practice project designed to address a problem, issue, or concern in the professional work setting. Although several types of evidence can be used to support a proposed solution, a sufficient and compelling base of support from valid research studies is required as the major component of that evidence. Proposals are submitted in a format suitable for obtaining formal approval in the work setting. Proposals will vary in length depending upon the problem or issue addressed; they can be between 3,500 and 5,000 words. The cover sheet, abstract, references page, and appendices are not included in the word limit. Section headings and letters for each section component are required. Responses are addressed in narrative form in relation to that number. Evaluation of the proposal in all sections is based upon the extent to which the depth of content reflects graduate-level critical-thinking skills. This project contains seven formal sections: Section A: Organizational Culture and Readiness Assessment Section B: Problem Description Section C: Literature Support Section D: Solution Description Section E: Change Model Section F: Implementation Plan Section G: Evaluation of Process The final paper will consist of the completed project (with revisions to all sections), title page, abstract, reference list, and appendices. Appendices will include a conceptual model for the project, handouts, data and evaluation collection tools, a budget, a timeline, resource lists, and approval forms. Use the "NUR-699 EBP Implementation Plan Guide" and "NUR-699 Evidence-Based Practice Project Student Example" to assist you. Also refer to "NUR-699 Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal Format." An abstract is required. Section C: Although you will not be submitting the checklist information or the evaluation table you design with the narrative, the checklist information and evaluation table should be placed in the appendices for the final paper. Section E: Although you will not be submitting the conceptual model you design with the narrative, the conceptual model should be placed in the appendices for the final paper. Section F: 1. If there is a need for a consent or approval form, then one must be created. Although you will not be submitting the consent or approval form(s) with the narrative, the consent or approval form(s) should be placed in the appendices for the final paper. 2. Create a timeline. Make sure the timeline is general enough that it can be implemented at any date. Although you will not be submitting the timeline with the narrative, the timeline should be placed in the appendices for the final paper. 3. Consider the clinical tools or process changes that would need to take place. Provide a resource list. Although you will not be submitting the resource list with the narrative, the resource list should be placed in the appendices for the final paper. 4. Develop the instruments. Although you will not be submitting the individual instruments with the narrative, the instruments should be placed in the appendices for the final paper. 5. Develop the data collection tools that will be needed. Although you will not be submitting the data collection tools with the narrative, the data collection tools should be placed in the appendices for the final paper. 6. Develop a budget plan. Although you will not be submitting the budget plan with the narrative, the budget plan should be placed in the appendices for the final paper.
