Discussion question 1: Describe one internal and one external method for the dissemination of your evidence-based change proposal (CAUTI awareness and prevention in the hospital [Adventist Health Glendale]).
For example, an internal method may be the hospital board, and an external method may be a professional nursing organization.
Discuss why it is important to report your change proposal to both of these groups. How will your communication strategies change for each group?
discussion question 2: In order to evaluate an evidence-based practice project, it is important to be able to determine the effectiveness of your change. Discuss one way you will be able to evaluate whether your project made a difference in practice.
discussion question 3: Review your strategic plan to implement the change proposal, the objectives, the outcomes, and listed resources.
Develop a process to evaluate the intervention if it were implemented. Write a summary of the evaluation plan that will be used to evaluate your intervention (see attached documents to write this answer).
discussion question 4: Based on how you will evaluate your EBP project, which independent and dependent variables do you need to collect? Why?
discussion question 5: Not all EBP projects result in statistically significant results.
Define clinical significance, and explain the difference between clinical and statistical significance. How can you use clinical significance to support positive outcomes in your project?
