As you come to the end of your program, you are being asked to display the skills you have gained through your coursework through an Evidence-Based Practice Project (EBP Project). Please review the "Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal Format" document, located in Class Resources, for guideline on how you will be setting up your completed proposal at the end of the course. Pay special attention to the required appendices.

The paper should address the following

1. Identify the problem and specify the significance and background of the problem for the organization.
2. Identify the stakeholders/change agents. Who or what organizations are concerned about, may benefit from, or are affected by this proposal? List the interested parties, patients, learners, agencies, the Joint Commission, etc.
3. Provide the PICOT question/statement. (Use the provided "PICOT Template.")
4. State the purpose and project objectives in specific, realistic, and measurable terms. The objectives should address what is to be gained. This is a restatement of the question, providing focus. Measurements need to be taken before and after the evidence-based practice is introduced to identify the expected changes.
5. Provide supportive rationale that the problem or issue is an important one in health care to resolve using relevant professional literature sources.
