Implementing Evidence-Based Practice

Create a poster presentation to communicate an implementation plan to bridge the gap between the evidence you will research and clinical practice. You will then record audio of no more than five minutes presenting your poster.

• Background on the clinical problem.
• PICOT question.
• Stakeholders that will be impacted.
• Action plan for implementation.
• Potential barriers to project implementation.
• Baseline data that will be needed to evaluate outcomes.
• Search strategy and databases used.
• Summary of the evidence with a critical appraisal of its quality.
• Develop a PICOT question for a chosen clinical problem.
  • Include a graphic that is relevant to the clinical problem.
  • Provide a background on the clinical problem identified.
• Outline an action plan to implement the evidence-based project that includes:
  • The recommended practice change.
  • Proposed timeline for implementation.
  • The tools or resources that will be needed to support the project.
• Identify the stakeholders, opportunities for innovation, and potential barriers to the practice change needed for project implementation.
  • Who are the stakeholders that will be impacted?
  • What are areas of the project that present opportunities for innovation?
  • What are the potential barriers, such as a lack of knowledge, time, skill level, motivation, or resources that could impact project implementation?
• Propose outcome criteria to evaluate the evidence-based practice project and how they will be measured.
  • How will outcomes be measured?
  • How do your outcomes align with the Quadruple Aim?
    • How will your outcome measures inform evidence-based practice, guidelines, or policies?
• Evaluate the evidence that supports the need for practice change.
  • In the notes section of your poster presentation:
    • Describe your search strategy and databases that were used.
    • Summarize your findings with a critical appraisal of the quality and relevance of your resources.
• Convey purpose of the poster presentation, in an appropriate tone and style, incorporating supporting evidence and adhering to organizational, professional, and scholarly communication standards.
• Integrates relevant and credible sources of evidence to support assertions, using current APA style.
• Set up and tested your microphone and headset using the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer. You only need to use the headset if your audio is not clear or high quality when captured by the microphone.
• Practice using the equipment to ensure the audio quality is sufficient.
• Consult Using Kaltura for guidance on how to record your presentation and upload it in the courseroom.
• Microsoft PowerPoint also allows you to record your narration with your slides. If you choose this option, simply submit your presentation to the appropriate area of the courseroom. Your narration will be included with your stories.
• Remember to practice delivering and recording your presentation multiple times to ensure effective delivery.
• Font and font size: Appropriate size and weight for a presentation, generally 24–28 points for headings; no smaller than 18 points for bullet-point text. Use a suitable professional typeface, such as Times or Arial, throughout the presentation.
• Length of presentation: No more than five minutes.
• Number of references: Cite a minimum of 3–5 sources of current scholarly or professional evidence that support your evaluation, recommendations, and plans. Current source material is defined as no older than five years unless it is a seminal work.
• APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style.
• Competency 1: Apply evidence-based practice to plan patient-centered care.
  • Outline an action plan to implement the evidence-based practice project that includes the recommendations for practice change, a timeline, and tools or resources needed.
  • Propose outcome criteria for evaluating the evidence-based practice project and how the outcomes will be measured.
• Competency 2: Apply evidence-based practice to design interventions to improve population health.
  • Identify the stakeholders, opportunities for innovation, and potential barriers to the practice change needed for project implementation.
• Competency 3: Evaluate the value, relevance, and ethics of available evidence upon which clinical decisions are made.
  • Develop a PICOT question for a chosen clinical problem.
  • Evaluate the value and relevance of the evidence that supports the need for a practice change.
• Competency 5: Communicate effectively with diverse audiences, in an appropriate form and style, consistent with organizational, professional, and scholarly standards.
  • Convey purpose of the poster presentation in an appropriate tone and style, incorporating supporting evidence and adhering to organizational, professional, and scholarly communication standards.
  • Integrate relevant and credible sources of evidence to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style.
