The Clinical Question

Your capstone change project begins this week when you identify a problem that you judge needs to experience a change in order to produce better patient outcomes

• Formulate a significant clinical question that will be the basis for your capstone change project

• Relate how you developed the question

• Describe the importance of this question to your clinical practice

• Define meta-analysis.and explain how this relates to evidence -based practice (EBP)
• Describe what a research-practice gap is

Description

In this assignment, students will pull together the capstone project change proposal components they have been working on throughout the course to create a proposal inclusive of sections for each content focus area in the course. For this project, the student will apply evidence-based research steps and processes required as the foundation to address a clinically oriented problem or issue in future practice. NR 451 Week 2 Discussion The Clinical Question

Develop a 1,250-1,500 written project that includes the following information as it applies to the problem, issue, suggestion, initiative, or educational need profiled in the capstone change proposal:

1.Background

2.Clinical problem statement.

3.Purpose of the change proposal in relation to providing patient care in the changing health care system.

4.PICOT question.

5.Literature search strategy employed.

6.Evaluation of the literature.

7.Applicable change or nursing theory utilized.

8.Proposed implementation plan with outcome measures.

9.Discussion of how evidence-based practice was used in creating the intervention plan.

10.Plan for evaluating the proposed nursing intervention. NR 451 Week 2 Discussion The Clinical Question

11.Identification of potential barriers to plan implementation, and a discussion of how these could be overcome.

12.Appendix section, if tables, graphs, surveys, educational materials, etc. are created.

7.Demonstrate interprofessional collaboration during the creation of the capstone project change proposal.

PICOT QUestion

Review your problem or issue and the study materials to formulate a PICOT question for your capstone project change proposal. A PICOT question starts with a designated patient population in a particular clinical area and identifies clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care. The intervention used to address the problem must be a nursing practice intervention. NR 451 Week 2 Discussion The Clinical Question

Include a comparison of the nursing intervention to a patient population not currently receiving the nursing intervention, and specify the timeframe needed to implement the change process. Formulate a PICOT question using the PICOT format (provided in the assigned readings) that addresses the clinical nursing problem.

The PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project change proposal. NR 451 Week 2 Discussion The Clinical Question

In a paper of 500-750 words, clearly identify the clinical problem and how it can result in a positive patient outcome.

Describe the problem in the PICOT question as it relates to the following:

  • Evidence-based solution
  • Nursing intervention
  • Patient care
  • Health care agency
  • Nursing practice
