This unit summarizes the steps we have gone through to translate research into practice. We discussed a clinical problem and developed a PICO question.

We searched for evidence and critiqued the proposed solution as seen in the literature. In the unit readings, these are presented as 11 sequential steps. We have covered the first 7 of these steps.

You will now address steps 8-11, implementing the practice change as the manager of your unit or facility.

Using the unit information and information from the Library, outline the change in practice that you will theoretically initiate, based on your findings.

Develop a PowerPoint presentation to present to the staff who will be affected by the practice change you are recommending based on your evidence.

In the PowerPoint Presentation address the following:

Title (start with a title page and end with a reference slide

Introduce the problem and present the evidence

Identify a model you would use to frame your change and explain why you chose it

Identify champions for change and how you will utilize them

Identify barriers to change and how you will address those

Discuss the staff education needed and how it will be provided

What is thetimelinefor this change?

How will the change be evaluated?
