This week you will be working on an evaluation plan for your EBP proposal. Submit your evaluation plan to the discussion board. Include concepts of what outcomes you are measuring, what data you are gathering, and what statistical analysis method you will use to evaluate the effectiveness of your intervention.We used a PICOT question to assist us in our search for evidence–thus making you think there is research involved in your project. In truth, I can understand the confusion–but the purpose of the PICOT is to assist in your search for support in implementing the change. Once you have the support then you are evaluating the change not the question.Professor Coment: This is a good start for your evaluation plan. However, you did not identify a realistic statistical analysis plan; EBP is not a statistical analysis method. Considering the type of data you are gathering (CAUTI occurrences), then what will be an appropriate statistical analysis method to evaluate the data obtained in accordance with your course readings?
For this assessment, you will use a supplied template to conduct a root-cause analysis of a quality or safety issue in a health care setting of your choice and outline a plan to address the issue.As patient safety concerns continue to be addressed in the health care settings, nurses can play an active role in implementing safety improvement measures and plans. Often root-cause analyses are conducted and safety improvement plans are created to address sentinel or adverse events such as medication errors, patient falls, wrong-site surgery events, and hospital-acquired infections. Performing a root-cause analysis offers a systematic approach for identifying causes of problems, including process and system-check failures. Once the causes of failures have been determined, a safety improvement plan can be developed to prevent recurrences. The baccalaureate nurse’s role as a leader is to create safety improvement plans as well as disseminate vital information to staff nurses and other health care professionals to protect patients and improve outcomes.As you prepare for this assessment, it would be an excellent choice to complete the Quality and Safety Improvement Plan Knowledge Base activity and to review the various assessment resources, all of which will help you build your knowledge of key concepts and terms related to quality and safety improvement. The terms and concepts will be helpful as you prepare your Root-Cause Analysis and Safety Improvement Plan. Activities are not graded and demonstrate course engagement.Demonstration of ProficiencyBy successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:Competency 1:ÿAnalyze the elements of a successful quality improvement initiative.Apply evidence-based and best-practice strategies to address a safety issue or sentinel event.Create a feasible, evidence-based safety improvement plan.Competency 2:ÿAnalyze factors that lead to patient safety risks.Analyze the root cause of a patient safety issue or a specific sentinel event within an organization.Competency 3:ÿIdentify organizational interventions to promote patient safety.Identify existing organizational resources that could be leveraged to improve a plan.Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly, evidence-based strategies to communicate in a manner that supports safe and effective patient care.Communicate in writing that is clear, logical, and professional, with correct grammar and spelling, using current APA style.Professional ContextNursing practice is governed by health care policies and procedures as well as state and national regulations developed to prevent problems. It is critical for nurses to participate in gathering and analyzing data to determine causes of patient safety issues, in solving problems, and in implementing quality improvements.ScenarioFor this assessment, you may choose from the following options as the subject of a root-cause analysis and safety improvement plan:The specific safety concern identified in your previous assessment.TheVila Health: Root-Cause Analysis and Safety Improvement Planningsimulation.One of the case studies from the previous assessment.A personal practice experience in which a sentinel event occurred.InstructionsThe purpose of this assessment is to demonstrate your understanding of and ability to analyze a root cause of a specific safety concern in a health care setting. You will create a plan to improve the safety of patients related to the concern based on the results of your analysis, using the literature and professional best practices as well as the existing resources at your chosen health care setting to provide a rationale for your plan.Use theRoot-Cause Analysis and Improvement Plan Template [DOCX]to help you to stay organized and concise.ÿThis will guide you step-by-step through the root cause analysis process.Additionally, be sure that your plan addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so you understandÿwhat is needed for a distinguished score.Analyze the root cause of a patient safety issue or a specific sentinel event in an organization.Apply evidence-based and best-practice strategies to address the safety issue or sentinel event.Create a feasible, evidence-based safety improvement plan.Identify organizational resources that could be leveraged to improve your plan.Communicate in writing that is clear, logical, and professional, with correct grammar and spelling, using current APA style.Example Assessment: You may use the following to give you an idea of what a Proficient or higher rating on the scoring guide would look like:Assessment 2ÿExample [PDF].Additional RequirementsLength of submission: Use the provided Root-Cause Analysis and Improvement Plan template to create a 4?6 page root cause analysis and safety improvement plan.

This research proposal letter will be directed to an audience who can create change (Congressperson, business administrators, or other similar audience.) In the proposal, you need to suggest a change or a solution to a current problem. As you have already chosen a topic for your research proposal letter in Topic 6 and conducted an interview that will become one of your sources for this letter, you do not need to choose a topic. You must use the same topic that you began researching in Topic 6, and you must use your interview as a source. Your research proposal should be presented in a letter format including the following information: ? Your mailing address (Note: For privacy reasons, you may opt to not disclose your mailing address when you submit your letter to our graders for review; however, should you choose to mail your letter to your chosen recipient, you will need to include your mailing address, as this is a customary business letter practice.) Note that a formal letter does not require your name in the header. Your name will go at the end, with your closing. ? The date you wrote the letter ? A name and mailing address for the individual to whom you are writing the letter ? A greeting or salutation ? A closing and your typed name (Note: A written signature is optional for your submission, but should you choose to send your letter, you would need to include your written signature between the closing and your typed name.) Scroll to the end of these instructions for an idea of how you should format this assignment. To organize this information, follow the format included in the course site in the ?Assignments? area. For your proposal, follow this organizational framework: For your researched proposal, follow this organizational framework: ? Introduction: The Problem Identify the problem, including researched information to explain it fully. You may devote more than one paragraph to describe the problem if needed. To determine ÿthe extent of the information you must provide about the problem, consider the letter recipient?s understanding of the problem. ? Body: Your Proposal Explain the specifics of your proposal. What are your solutions to solve this problem, step by step? What is the cost? How is this cost incurred? What ideas do you have for funding your proposal? Justify your proposal. How will your proposal solve the problem? Why is this proposal feasible? Concede or refute the counterarguments: Will the letter recipient have certain preconceived ideas about the subject? How can you address these counterarguments without diminishing your argument? Note: You will lose points from the rubric if you do not address the counterargument. ? Conclusion: Your Argument Take into consideration your chosen audience and his/her interests.
