Part 5: Recommending an Evidence-Based Practice ChangePart 5: Recommending an
Evidence-Based Practice ChangeThe 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.The
Assignment: (Evidence-Based Project)Part 5: Recommending an Evidence-Based Practice
ChangeCreate an 8- to 9-slide 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.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

PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-
checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and
you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words
and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then

2. aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to
have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are
preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per
inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing
are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages
than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large margins, large
indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning
(space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of
a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.The paper must
be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of
each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark
ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
