Capstone Project: Milestone #2: Design for Change Proposal Paper (graded)Your Capstone Project Milestone #2: Design for Change Proposal Paper is due Sunday. Guidelines may be found in Doc Sharing.Your assignment is due by Sunday end of week 11:59 p.m. (MT). Submit your assignment to the Dropbox.Capstone Project Milestone #2:Design for Change Proposal GuidelinesPURPOSEYou are to create a Design for Change proposal inclusive of your PICO and evidence appraisal information from your Capstone Project Milestone #1. Your plan is to convince your management team of a nursing problem you have uncovered and you feel is significant enough to change the way something is currently practiced. In the event you are not currently working as a nurse please use a hypothetical clinical situation you experienced in nursing school or nursing education issue you identified in your nursing program.COURSE OUTCOMESThis assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes.CO1: Applies the theories and principles of nursing and related disciplines to individuals families aggregates and communities from entry to the healthcare system through long-term planning. (PO #1)CO2: Proposes leadership and collaboration strategies for use with consumers and other healthcare providers in managing care and/or delegating responsibilities for health promotion illness prevention health restoration and maintenance and rehabilitative activities. (PO #2)DUE DATEMilestone #2 consists of the proposal for your Design for Change Capstone Project. Submit this Milestone to the Dropbox by the end of Week 4.POINTSMilestone #2 is worth 225 points.DIRECTIONS1. Create a proposal for your Design for Change Capstone Project. Open the template in Doc Sharing. You will include the information from Milestone #1 your PICO question and evidence appraisal as you compose this proposal. Your plan is to convince your management team of a nursing problem you have uncovered and you feel is significant enough to change the way something is currently practiced.2. The format for this proposal will be a paper following the Publication manual of APA 6th edition.3. The paper is to be four- to six-pages excluding the Title page and Reference page.4. As you organize your information and evidence include the following topics.a. Introduction: Write an introduction but do not use “Introduction” as a heading in accordance with the rules put forth in the Publication manual of the American Psychological Association (2010 p. 63). Introduce the reader to the plan with evidence-based problem identification and solution.b. Change Plan: Write an overview using the John Hopkins Nursing EBP Model and Guidelines (2012)i. Practice Questionii. Evidenceiii. Translationc. Summary5. Citations and References must be included to support the information within each topic area. Refer to the APA manual Chapter 7 for examples of proper reference format. In-text citations are to be noted for all information contained in your paper that is not your original idea or thought. Ask yourself “How do I know this?” and then cite the source. Scholarly sources are expected which means using peer-reviewed journals and credible websites.6. Tables and Figures may be added as appropriate to the project. They should be embedded within the body of the paper (see your APA manual for how to format and cite). Creating tables and figures offers visual aids to the reader and enhances understanding of your literature review and design for change.GRADING CRITERIA: DESIGN FOR CHANGE CAPSTONE PROJECTCategory Points % DescriptionIntroduction 25 11% Introduction to the plan is nursing focused with evidence-based problem identification and potential solutions clearly identified.Change Plan; Practice Question (Steps 1–5) 50 22% Activities to achieve the first steps of change are fully described in detail and are based on the first five steps of the John Hopkins EBP Process; Practice Question.Change Plan; Evidence (Steps 6–10) 50 22% Activities to achieve steps six through ten of the John Hopkins EBP Process are fully described in detail; Evidence.Change Plan; Translation(Steps 11–18) 50 22% Activities to achieve the final steps of change are fully described in detail and are based on steps 11 through 18 of the John Hopkins EBP Process; Practice Question.Summary 25 11% Clear solid summary summarizing the key points and steps of the change plan is included; ways to maintain the change plan are described.

Title Your Name Chamberlain College of Nursing NR451 RN Capstone Course Term and Year Your title hereThis paragraph(s) is to introduce the paper. State the problem and potential solutions backed by evidence. Briefly introduce the nursing focused plan. Remember this is a scholarly APA assignment so you cannot use first person. Change Model OverviewIn this first paragraph provide an overview of the John Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Process. Feel free to state why nurses should use this model as a guide to facilitate change. Under each of the second level headers listed below you now link y.our identified topic to the John Hopkins EBP Process.Practice QuestionStep 1: Recruit Interprofessional TeamYou will be the leader of the team since this is your project. Who will you also include in your team? Make sure you choose relevant stakeholders. You should have no more than eight members. Do not list your team members by name but instead by position (pharmacists charge nurse etc)Step 2: Develop and Refine the EBP QuestionRestate your question. Include the PICO elements but make sure you write them in paragraph form and not in list format.Step 3: Define the Scope of the EBP Why is this a problem? Give statistics and information to back the scope of the problem. How does this problem impact healthcare on a broader scale? Steps 4 and 5: Determine Responsibility of Team MembersWhy are the members chosen important to your project? What are their roles?EvidenceSteps 6 and 7: Conduct Internal/ External Search for Evidence and Appraisal of EvidenceWhat type of evidence did you find? EBP guidelines? Quality improvement data? Position statements? Qualitative research? Quantitative research? Briefly discuss the strength of this research. This is not where you describe the results of your studies. This is done in the following steps. Steps 8 and 9: Summarize the Evidence Synthesize the information that you obtained from your sources. You will need at least four sources. Of these four sources three must be from peer-reviewed articles. The other source can be from a reputable source. See page 44 of your text for examples of sources you can use. In this section you need to synthesize the information from the articles. Feel free to cite multiple articles within one sentence. You should avoid one paragraph for each of the sources. Step 10: Develop Recommendations for Change Based on EvidenceWhat is your recommendation based on the research? Ideally you will have found enough support in your evidence to proceed with implementing your pilot program. TranslationSteps 11 12 and 13 14: Action PlanYou have not implemented your project yet therefore this section will be hypothetical. Develop your plan for implementation. What are the specific steps you will take to implement your pilot study? What is the timeline for your plan? Make sure you include a plan for evaluation of outcomes and method to report the results. Steps 16 and 16: Evaluating Outcomes and Reporting OutcomesWhat are the desired outcomes? How will they be measured? How will you report the results to the key stakeholders?Steps 17: Identify Next StepsHow will you implement the plan on a larger scale? Will this be applicable to other units or the facility as a whole? What will you do to ensure that the implementation becomes permanent? Step 18: Disseminate FindingsHow will you communicate your findings internally (within your organization) and externally (to others outside of your organization)?ConclusionProvide a clear and concise summary. Review the key aspects of the problem as well as the change model. Be sure to include important aspects of the three levels of change for the John Hopkins EBP process. References
