Assignment: Advocating for the Nursing Role in Program Design and Implementation

As their names imply, the honeyguide bird and the honey badger both share an affinity for honey. Honeyguide birds specialize in finding beehives but struggle to access the honey within. Honey badgers are well-equipped to raid beehives but cannot always find them. However, these two honey-loving species have learned to collaborate on an effective means to meet their objectives. The honeyguide bird guides honey badgers to newly discovered hives. Once the honey badger has ransacked the hive, the honey guide bird safely enters to enjoy the leftover honey.

Much like honeyguide birds and honey badgers, nurses and health professionals from other specialty areas can—and should—collaborate to design effective programs. Nurses bring specialties to the table that make them natural partners to professionals with different specialties. When nurses take the requisite leadership in becoming involved throughout the healthcare system, these partnerships can better design and deliver highly effective programs that meet objectives.

In this Assignment, you will practice this type of leadership by advocating for a healthcare program. Equally as important, you will advocate for a collaborative role of the nurse in the design and implementation of this program. To do this, assume you are preparing to be interviewed by a professional organization/publication regarding your thoughts on the role of the nurse in the design and implementation of new healthcare programs.

The Assignment: (2–3 pages)

In a 2- to 3-page paper, create an interview transcript of your responses to the following interview questions:

• Tell us about a healthcare program, within your practice. What are the costs and projected outcomes of this program?
• Who is your target population?
• What is the role of the nurse in providing input for the design of this healthcare program? Can you provide examples?
• What is your role as an advocate for your target population for this healthcare program? Do you have input into design decisions? How else do you impact design?
• What is the role of the nurse in healthcare program implementation? How does this role vary between design and implementation of healthcare programs? Can you provide examples?
• Who are the members of a healthcare team that you believe are most needed to implement a program? Can you explain why?

Evidence-Based Project Implementation Issues

Before, during, and after implementation of your DNP Project, or any evidence-based project, it is critical to pay attention to various social, political, technological, and/or financial considerations. Using this framework, you can identify, analyze, and address issues that may affect the implementation of the project.

For this Discussion, you evaluate considerations that may promote or impede successful implementation of your DNP Project or another evidence-based project. As you do so, bear in mind that the specific factors are likely to differ from project to project and may vary given the timing and context in which a project is implemented. During this Discussion, you also evaluate variances between activities, standards and guidelines, and what is considered “best practice” in relation to the project.

To prepare:

• Consider      the issues you have noticed while implementing the intervention and/or      gathering data for your DNP Project or another evidence-based project.      Bring to mind Dr. Mauk’s comments on social, political, technological,      and/or financial considerations in the Weeks 2 and 3 media program.      Reflect on how these considerations have, or may, affect your      implementation.
• Think      about any unexpected developments that arose (or may arise) during the      implementation phase of your evidence-based project. What was the root      cause of each development and its effect on your project?
• Return      to the literature and note any variances between your activities, relevant      standards and guidelines, and what is considered “best practice.”
• Evaluate      your original plan for developing and implementing your DNP project      (regardless of where you are in the process right now) or another      evidence-based project. What, if anything, would you change in order to      improve the process, quality of data, etc.?

By tomorrow Tuesday June 4, 2019 write a minimum of 550 words essay in APA format with at least three scholarly references. Include the level one header as numbered below:

Post a cohesive response that addresses the following:

1) Describe one or more significant issues related to the implementation of and data gathering for an evidence-based project. 

2) Assess the cause and meaning of each issue for your evidence-based project. If applicable, describe how the issue may have compromised your project.

3) What insights related to variances between project activities, relevant standards and guidelines, and what is considered “best practice” are most significant for this evidence-based project?

4) Summarize your evaluation of the planning for and implementation of the intervention, noting opportunities for improvement with future projects.
