16 Dec DNP-Evidence Based Practice II

To change a problem, identification is simply the first step. Once the problem is identified and a plan for change is established, implementation of the problem change is the next step to resolve the problem or issue. In your previous course, NURS 8502, you identified a problem to develop a plan for change. In this course, you will continue working with this identified problem to implement your plan for change.

In this module, you will review the project management plan you created in the previous course as well as explore possible barriers, ethical and legal implications, and potential speed bumps that may impact your implementation. After assessing your plan, you will make revisions to begin your implementation.

What’s Happening in This Module?

Module 1: Implementation is a 6-week module—Weeks 1 through 6 of the course—in which you will review the problem change plan, revise your plan, and explore potential barriers for implementation. This exploration will assist you in beginning the implementation of your problem change.

INTRODUCTION

During these first 6 weeks, you will continue the work completed in Evidence Based Practice I. You will continue your practicum experience and implement a plan to change an identified or potential practice problem within your practice or organization. In Weeks 1 through 6 of this course, you will begin the work of implementation through planning and preparing.

In Weeks 1 through 6, you will review the project management plan created in Evidence Based Practice I and develop a translation action plan to begin the work of implementation. You will explore barriers, identify strategies, and evaluate legal and ethical implications to begin the project change implementation.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Students will:

· Apply project management leadership skills to the design and approach to the proposed project

· Select a project management tool appropriate to the practice focused question

· Identify barriers to implementation

· Evaluate appropriate strategies to overcome barriers

· Evaluate legal and ethical implications to implementation

· Evaluate appropriate strategies to address legal and ethical concerns to implementation

· Develop a translation action plan

· Implement a project change*

· Reflect on the practicum experience

· Final Project Plan

· What is your proposed change and how will you implement it?

· Throughout this course, you will work at your clinical site with a preceptor and with stakeholders to implement a plan to change a potential or known problem at your practice. For this Assignment, you will review the project management plan you developed in NURS 8502. Reflect on your plan, your preceptors, and your specialty to determine what/if changes are needed to begin the implementation of your plan.

To Prepare

· Review the project management plan selected and developed in NURS 8502.

· Meet with your clinical site to review your project plan for changes.

· Review the Learning Resources covering available project management plan options.

The Assignment

Submit your revised and updated final project management
