Change Model Overview

In this first paragraph, provide an overview of the ACE Star model Evidence-Based Practice Process. Feel free to state why nurses should use this model as a guide to facilitate change. Under each of the second level headers listed below, you now link your identified topic to the ACE Star model EBP Process. NR451 – Milestone 2 Design Proposal Template.

Define the Scope of the EBP

Restate your practice issue. Why is this a problem? Give statistics and information to back the scope of the problem at your facility/work area. How does this problem impact healthcare on a broader scale? NR451 – Milestone 2 Design Proposal Template.

Stakeholders

You will be the leader of the team since this is your project. Who will you also include in your team? Make sure you choose relevant stakeholders. You should have no more than eight members. Do not list your team members by name but instead by position (pharmacists, charge nurse, etc.).

Determine Responsibility of Team Members

Why are the members chosen important to your project? What are their roles?

Evidence

Conduct internal/ external search for evidence. What type of evidence did you find in addition to you Evidence Summary? EBP guidelines? Quality improvement data? Position statements? Clinical Practice Guidelines?  Briefly discuss the strength of this research. This is
not
where you describe the results of your studies. This is done in the following steps. NR451 – Milestone 2 Design Proposal Template.

Summarize the Evidence

In this section, you need to synthesize the information from the systematic review article. What are some of the evidence-based interventions you discovered in your Evidence Summary that do you plan to use? Be sure and cite all of your references, in proper APA format, from any and all articles into this one paragraph.

Develop Recommendations for Change Based on Evidence

What is your recommendation based on the research? Ideally, you will have found enough support in your evidence to proceed with implementing your pilot program. NR451 – Milestone 2 Design Proposal Template.

Translation

Action Plan

You have not implemented your project yet, therefore, this section will be hypothetical. Develop your plan for implementation. What are the specific steps you will take to implement your pilot study?  What is the timeline for your plan? Make sure you include a plan for evaluation of outcomes and method to report the results.

Process, Outcomes Evaluation and Reporting

What are the desired outcomes? How will they be measured? How will you report the results to the key stakeholders?

Identify Next Steps

How will you implement the plan on a larger scale? Will this be applicable to other units or the facility as a whole? What will you do to ensure that the implementation becomes permanent?

Disseminate Findings

How will you communicate your findings internally (within your organization) and externally (to others outside of your organization)? NR451 – Milestone 2 Design Proposal Template.

Conclusion

Provide a clear and concise summary. Review the key aspects of the problem as well as the change model. Be sure to include important aspects of the five points of the ACE Star change model EBP process and ways to maintain the change plan.
