CP – Week 7 discussion

/in /by

This week you will be creating an Implementation Plan that will be attached to your final Evidence-Based Project. In the article read last week, “EBP Step by Step Following the evidence: Planning for sustainable change” an Implementation Plan is provided for an example.  In your text (4th ed) the ‘ARCC Model Timeline for an EBP Implementation Project” (Appendix I) template is available for guidance.The thought process includes:  Based on my review of literatures comparing the DASH diet and the low/restricted sodium diet, the DASH diet significantly reduced the blood pressure of the hypertensive patients in the studies. The effect was additive when both diets where combined.These studies established evidence that the DASH diet in addition to pharmacotherapy is effective in reducing the blood pressure of hypertensive patients.My objective now is to introduce this diet method (DASH diet) to all the hypertensive patients that will be seen in my place of practice. My implementation plan will involve the identification of the other stakeholders/beneficiaries of this new method or approach to management of hypertensive patients. The other stakeholders mentioned in my implementation plan were the healthcare providers (ARNPs and physicians), the insurance companies, and the owner or employer of these healthcare providers.I intend to implement my EBP through discussion groups. These identified stakeholders will be invited to a group discussion so that barriers will be identified, and solutions will be worked out during these group discussions.For the discussion board this week—outline your implementation plan–the early steps have been complete–the checkpoints noted in the template should guide your plan.

CP Week 8 Discussion

This week you will be working on an evaluation plan that will be attached to your EBP in Week 9. Remember, you are working through this process–you have a question, you found evidence for support in putting this into practice–you implemented a plan to put this into practice now you are evaluating how it worked in your practice!Submit your Evaluation Plan to the DB –listed as 1-2-3…  (Remember you are evaluating the change to your practice not the PICOT)We used a PICOT question to assist us in our search for evidence–thus making you think there is research involved in your project.  In truth, I can understand the confusion–but the purpose of the PICOT is to assist in your search for support in implementing the change.  Once you have the support then you are evaluating the change not the question.

Assignment: Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare IssueThe Quadruple Aim provides broad categories of goals to pursue to maintain and improve healthcare. Within each goal are many issues that, if addressed successfully, may have a positive impact on outcomes. For example, healthcare leaders are being tasked to shift from an emphasis on disease management often provided in an acute care setting to health promotion and disease prevention delivered in primary care settings. Efforts in this area can have significant positive impacts by reducing the need for primary healthcare and by reducing the stress on the healthcare system.Changes in the industry only serve to stress what has always been true; namely, that the healthcare field has always faced significant challenges, and that goals to improve healthcare will always involve multiple stakeholders. This should not seem surprising given the circumstances. Indeed, when a growing population needs care, there are factors involved such as the demands of providing that care and the rising costs associated with healthcare. Generally, it is not surprising that the field of healthcare is an industry facing multifaceted issues that evolve over time.In this module’s Discussion, you reviewed some healthcare issues/stressors and selected one for further review. For this Assignment, you will consider in more detail the healthcare issue/stressor you selected.You will also review research that addresses the issue/stressor and write a white document to your organization’s leadership that addresses the issue/stressor you selected.To Prepare:Review the national healthcare issues/stressors presented in the Resources and reflect on the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected for study.Reflect on the feedback you received from your colleagues on your Discussion post for the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected.Identify and review two additional scholarly resources (not included in the Resources for this module) that focus on change strategies implemented by healthcare organizations to address your selected national healthcare issue/stressor.https://www.proquest.com/docview/2074233170?account=14872https://ovidsp.dc1.ovid.com/ovid-a/ovidweb.cgi?ID=shib%3Adc1%3A0x4123a3696a7a489e982f2501780f5de3&PASSWORD=0x4123a3696a7a489e982f2501780f5de3&idpselect=https%3A%2F%2Fidp.waldenu.edu%2Fopenathens&CSC=Y&T=JS&LSLINK=80&D=ovft&NEWS=N&entityID=https%3A%2F%2Fidp.waldenu.edu%2Fopenathens&PAGE=fulltext&AN=00000446-201802000-00024https://ovidsp.dc1.ovid.com/ovid-a/ovidweb.cgi?ID=shib%3Adc1%3A0xe53b0aeffdb044a28b63c145a7a207d8&PASSWORD=0xe53b0aeffdb044a28b63c145a7a207d8&idpselect=https%3A%2F%2Fidp.waldenu.edu%2Fopenathens&CSC=Y&T=JS&LSLINK=80&D=ovft&NEWS=N&entityID=https%3A%2F%2Fidp.waldenu.edu%2Fopenathens&PAGE=fulltext&AN=00006216-201807000-00009https://accounts.ebsco.com/public/consent?consentToken=eyJraWQiOiIxNjMyMTY2OTc1MzcxIiwiYWxnIjoiUlMyNTYifQ.eyJyZWRpcmVjdFVyaSI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9zZWFyY2guZWJzY29ob3N0LmNvbVwvd2ViYXV0aFwvQ29uc2VudENhbGxiYWNrLmFzcHg_c3RhdGU9QTFNWkVBM2ZLZlpxZUlJM0VYVWhhdGlyX3J0Qnl5VFpWMzQ2SHFZbHNvRUNjUUpQYmtoRFVvcGJvMW85RmJWZ19faWZqQ2ZwakNGRjN1elZEYmpDTDg5eFNSMEFoSWhWdUlNRGJlZE5IS1AwdkVtWkx0WkoxUXVMVWI2blh4Q1FtUGhmNDNSUjE0YXUyRUdMcWF6eXVSU0NfSWlXVzNxVi15azlzSU1NR0RkbVlUa3Fwa3haV3g0RnAzRzNiR0dzbzZ1VnB1WkNreEpmVkZWQU00czZMVy1Vb1RKSVVGYUw2UjF0TkU5UEZtaWRUOGpmZ0h5cWRVdjMxaVV5MFFlbmFqTWVNejFqYjdhR1ZEVXFIZ2w4ZnFhNjV5dGN1bHZSOTAxZkJxUENpV09OdFU4VlpMVVQ5MTl2OUtfZTZ4SVBfeDlPQU1KR0pwaWZNbnFLVzJNcnRaUWdVa2dRLWJwQnhQYVVvNW0wdXN3UXY3THhEY3NDV0pEc2lkcGk0X01DLWdVWjVGVmJwbUZTYW9UYlZONy1tUTRCb0lXekhYcGdNNVk0ZTNjRzFoUHFIZGNwb0JzbXZvVjBhSHpXM1NtTkVMb2MtSzVoZmdVYTJnNzB2ZFJkR1NYS0JPc1lpUVJPbF9JYXdCcUxqQU9RU1hRZmROcWFKR3RjSjl4TVJzV3Q0RVVmMkxqNHV6TmZqSzFnTzJudWI3R1FJOEhsUmE3TCIsInB1YWlkIjoiMjQ4NDQwMDQiLCJpc3MiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvYXV0aC5lYnNjby56b25lXC9hcGlcL2Rpc3BhdGNoZXIiLCJkZWNsaW5lVXJpIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL3NlYXJjaC5lYnNjb2hvc3QuY29tXC93ZWJhdXRoXC9Db25zZW50Q2FsbGJhY2suYXNweD9zdGF0ZT1BMU1aRUEzZktmWnFlSUkzRVhVaGF0aXJfcnRCeXlUWlYzNDZIcVlsc29FQ2NRSlBia2hEVW9wYm8xbzlGYlZnX19pZmpDZnBqQ0ZGM3V6VkRiakNMODl4U1IwQWhJaFZ1SU1EYmVkTkhLUDB2RW1aTHRaSjFRdUxVYjZuWHhDUW1QaGY0M1JSMTRhdTJFR0xxYXp5dVJTQ19JaVdXM3FWLXlrOXNJTU1HRGRtWVRrcXBreFpXeDRGcDNHM2JHR3NvNnVWcHVaQ2t4SmZWRlZBTTRzNkxXLVVvVEpJVUZhTDZSMXRORTlQRm1pZFQ4amZnSHlxZFV2MzFpVXkwUWVuYWpNZU16MWpiN2FHVkRVcUhnbDhmcWE2NXl0Y3VsdlI5MDFmQnFQQ2lXT050VThWWkxVVDkxOXY5S19lNnhJUF94OU9BTUpHSnBpZk1ucUtXMk1ydFpRZ1VrZ1EtYnBCeFBhVW81bTB1c3dRdjdMeERjc0NXSkRzaWRwaTRfTUMtZ1VaNUZWYnBtRlNhb1RiVk43LW1RNEJvSVd6SFhwZ001WTRlM2NHMWhQcUhkY3BvQnNtdm9WMGFIelczU21ORUxvYy1LNWhmZ1VhMmc3MHZkUmRHU1hLQk9zWWlRUk9sX0lhd0JxTGpBT1FTWFFmZE5xYUpHdGNKOXhNUnNXdDRFVWYyTGo0dXpOZmpLMWdPMm51YjdHUUk4SGxSYTdMJmVycm9yPWNvbnNlbnRfZGVjbGluZWQmZXJyb3JfZGVzY3JpcHRpb249VXNlciBkZWNsaW5lZCBDb25zZW50IiwiZXhwIjoxNjM4NzIyMDY5LCJpYXQiOjE2Mzg3MjE5MTksImVic2NvX3B1YV9pZCI6IjI0ODQ0MDA0IiwianRpIjoiZjY2MWIyMzktYTEzMi00YjljLWJjZDYtNDY1ODJkNzE4MmMwIiwicGxhdGZvcm0iOiJlaG9zdCJ9.dfw3FLk0YyPeVxxyDPJUYAgVx5pN13b6G_RbB-pQDmwd6TxvoeD_T6haQCTJJR9IwrTCL0FIjxKnKwYET5iAnAL5PsQyLiT2dqlBFLgUHQkkfPLUjKWVMBQ7uooZtVinDbmw0OrhryaVI7ykfTYNQ4mDArDIRuQgGbNeohwc7KSfiDdJM4ApEfobFyuKsixMEyiKtng77t6wby_hbMtPZgbHeuiLSIkKWsuQqdaT4nRp2FRWNBMRhOswpN7zSBfOZq4u4ajSD55eD8v7VyJz8UREJBGR0uXbM61YF9kMCq5gt-FZNM7fw3Bt9AAbkNZxYXvNjt6lfj_zxRLBfPQNVQhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S8755722316301132?via%3Dihubhttps://human-resources-health.biomedcentral.com/track/pdf/10.1186/s12960-016-0154-3.pdfhttps://ovidsp.dc1.ovid.com/ovid-a/ovidweb.cgi?ID=shib%3Adc1%3A0x67d011fc1f944cdb98222b8dd67c58ea&PASSWORD=0x67d011fc1f944cdb98222b8dd67c58ea&idpselect=https%3A%2F%2Fidp.waldenu.edu%2Fopenathens&CSC=Y&T=JS&LSLINK=80&D=ovft&NEWS=N&entityID=https%3A%2F%2Fidp.waldenu.edu%2Fopenathens&PAGE=fulltext&AN=01741002-201806000-00010The Assignment (3-4 Pages):Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare IssueDevelop a 3- to 4-page, written to your organization’s leadership team, addressing your selected national healthcare issue/stressor and how it is impacting your work setting.
