Applying a framework/model for change ensures that a process is in place to guide the efforts for change. In 500-750 words, discuss the framework/model you will use to implement your evidence-based practice proposal project. You will use the framework/model you select in the Topic 8 assignment, during which you will synthesize the various aspects of your project into a final paper detailing your evidence-based practice project proposal.
This is based off of a PICOT question being “In adult inpatients at risk for sepsis (P), how does implementing an evidence-based sepsis risk screening tool (I) compared to standard ad hoc sepsis detection practices without standardized screening (C) affect sepsis morbidity, mortality, and healthcare utilization (O) within 1 year post-implementation (T)?”
The Model framework for change is “The Model for Evidence Based Practice Change” the six steps that are
- Assess the need for change in practice
- Locate the best evidence
- Critically analyze the evidence
- Plan the practice change
- Implement and evaluate change in practice
- Integrate and maintain change in practice
Include the following:
- Identify the selected framework/model for change and discuss its relevance to your project.
- Discuss each of the stages in the change framework/model.
- Describe how you would apply each stage of the framework/model in your proposed implementation.
- Create a concept map for the framework/model you selected to illustrate how it will be applied to your project. Attach this as an appendix at the end of your paper.
Refer to the “Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal – Assignment Overview” document, located in Class Resources for an overview of the evidence-based practice project proposal assignments.
You are required to cite a minimum of four peer-reviewed sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and nursing content.
