NR703 Week 3 Assignment: DNP Practice Change Project
Complete the following sections of the paper:
- Introduction
- Introduce the paper’s central theme and address the importance of the topic.
- Provide a clear purpose statement.
- Provide the reader with an outline statement of the paper’s content (i.e., the three sections identified by the required level 1 headings (Problem, Practice Gap, & Practice Question).
- Problem
Using the information that you gathered on the Organizational Needs Assessment: Practice Gap Identification (Table 1), describe the practice problem by explaining these elements:- Describe a specific, unnamed location (hospital unit, community health clinic, surgical suite, primary care practice).
- Identify the type of location (unit, clinic, etc.) and its key stakeholders (decision makers).
- Explain the practice problem as it would be identified by the stakeholders and ensure that it is realistic, practical, small in scope, and can be managed by you as if it were an actual 8-week project.
- Practice Gap
- Explain the Organizational Needs Assessment: Practice Gap Identification Table (Table 1). A blank table is included below. You can copy and paste it (with its APA heading) into your paper after the reference list.
- In one or two organized paragraphs, summarize your findings in Table 1, the Organizational Needs Assessment: Practice Gap Identification.
- What is currently happening in the clinical site that causes poor patient health outcomes?
- What should be happening in the clinical site based on current evidence?
- What do the stakeholders (decision-makers) identify as the gap between what is currently happening and what should be happening (this is your practice gap)?
- Why is there a gap in practice? What factors (policies, procedures, etc.) contribute to the practice gap?
- What evidence do you have to demonstrate the practice gap you are describing (e.g., Internal QI indicators, NDNQI, AHRQ Quality Indicators, National Hospital Quality Measures, CAHPS Hospital Survey, Joint Commission, ORYX®, etc.)?
- What research-based intervention/evidence have you discovered to fix the practice gap and potentially improve patient health outcomes?
- Practice Question: The practice question guides the practice change project. Define and briefly explain the project’s intended population, evidence-based intervention, and measurable outcomes (PICOT). Use the APA convention of a bulleted list to make each stand out:
-
- Population: Describe the specific characteristics of the population that is the focus of the intervention, including the hypothetical unit, clinic, or healthcare location you have chosen.
- Intervention: Citing evidence listed in the Johns Hopkins Individual Evidence Summary Tool (Table 2), provide 1-2 sentences explaining the intervention (or synthesized intervention “bundle”) from the evidence in Table 2; refer the reader to Table 2 in this section and cite the three references (as they apply) in the section. At least three (3) references listed in Table 2 for this assignment should explicitly support the intervention and the outcome (and its measurements).
- Comparison: State “compared to current practice” for this assignment. You should
-
