Instruction
• 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.) (The healthcare organization that I work for is an adult day health care center that has been around for more than 20 years and serves to the elderly community. I would describe the culture of this organization as friendly and welcoming. The organization is always looking for ways to improve, especially since we began doing tele-health this past year)
• 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.
Problem or opportunity for change:
Providing more opportunity for promotion
Dividing the workload evenly amongst employees
Circumstances: less employee stress, more positive environment
No risks
Stakeholders: 3 owners of the day care
• 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:
o A summary of the critical appraisal of the peer-reviewed articles you previously submitted
o An explanation about what you learned from completing the Evaluation Table within the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template (1-3 slides)
*I have already included some information at the top ... ex: 20 years, and stakeholders are the 3 owners).
