Overall EBP Project Description

One characteristic of professional nursing practice is to use evidence and research to guide practice. The purpose of this project is to apply the evidence-based practice process to impact health care and patient outcomes.

The project utilizes a systematic approach that encompasses the following phases:

1. Topic Selection: PICO Question based on a clinical or healthcare problem or current state health care bill that impacts patient outcomes
2. Review of the Literature for evidence of best practice
3. Development of Best Practice Recommendations/Guidelines
4. Review of Actual Practice
5. Gap Analysis
6. Action Plan: Recommendations for Change
7. Cost Analysis/Economic Implications
8. Conclusions and Recommendations for future research
9. References
10. Poster

This project is finalized as a poster and is presented to peers and faculty at a poster session.

NOTE: Steps III, IV, and V are due week 10

STEP III: Development of Best Practice Recommendations/Guidelines

1. The Best Practice Guidelines will be synthesized from your teams’ review of the literature.
2. Each Best Practice statement is to be supported from the literature review; sources are clearly documented following APA format.
3. Formulate at least 3 best practice statements. Best practice statements are action-oriented.
4. Develop the best practice statement in your own words; through paraphrasing. DO NOT USE QUOTATIONS.

STEP IV: Review of Actual Practice

1. Obtain a copy of a policy and procedure concerning the selected issue. Compare the policy with the best practice statements developed.
2. Or observe how the selected nursing issue is actually implemented.
3. Speak with someone about what is actually happening.
4. Use this information in the next step of Analysis/Identification of Gaps.

Gap Analysis Table [NO QUOTATIONS]

STEP V: Gap Analysis

1. The analysis phase consists of comparing the best practice to what is actually in place through Policy and Procedure, Observation, or Interview.
2. Identify the commonalities and the differences between these three, identifying gaps from best practice.

Based on your teams’ gap analysis table, in this week’s Group Discussion area, describe the SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) that exists for your Final Project organization. Include at the end of your document the sharable Google Sheets link or table your team created in the Group Discussion and the resources you used for your SWOT analysis in APA format.

Support your Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are asked to provide a reference list for all resources, including those in the Learning Resources for this course. You should include in your references at least two resources included in this week’s Resources and at least one outside scholarly resource.
