Evidence-Based Capstone Project
The dissemination of EBP results serves multiple important roles. Sharing results makes the case for your decisions. It also adds to the body of knowledge, which creates opportunities for future practitioners. By presenting results, you also become an advocate for EBP, creating a culture within your organization or beyond that informs, educates, and promotes the effective use of EBP.
To Prepare:
- Review the final PowerPoint presentation you submitted in Module 5, and make any necessary changes based on the feedback you have received and on lessons you have learned throughout the course.
- Consider the best method of disseminating the results of your presentation to an audience.
To Complete:
Create a 5-minute, 5- to 6-slide narrated PowerPoint presentation of your Evidence-Based Project.
- Be sure to incorporate any feedback or changes from your presentation submission in Module 5.
- Explain how you would disseminate the results of your project to an audience. Provide a rationale for why you selected this dissemination strategy.

Recommending an Evidence-Based
Practice ChangeOrganization Description and Readiness for ChangeDescription of Healthcare Organization
The healthcare organization at which the change is proposed is a nursing home taking care of the elderly
The culture of the Nursing home is driven by the need to deliver quality nursing care to patients
The culture of change movement is aimed at transitioning the nursing home from an institution to homes for residents aimed at improving quality of care and overall quality of life for residents.
The organization is ready for change, has all infrastructure and needed resources needed to implement change, whereas staff are also supportive of change process.

The culture of change movement is aimed at transitioning the nursing home from an institution to homes for residents aimed at improving quality of care and overall quality of life for residents (Ellis,2019) .
The organization is ready for change, has all infrastructure and needed resources needed to implement change, whereas staff are also supportive of change process.
Current Problem & Opportunity for ChangeNursing home operates in a restrictive setting, where standardized approach to care is applied
Opportunity for change is application of personalized care to meet individual needs of patients.
Circumstances surrounding need for change: Only standardized approach to care is implemented, thus individual needs of patients are not being met
Scope of the Issue: Health providers and elderly patients are affected
Risks associated with Change: Possibility of resistance by stakeholders, limitation of resources needed in implementation and change in scope

Evidence Based Idea
Evidence based for changed that has been proposed is providing patient-centered care for elderly patients at the nursing home
EBP approach to patient centered care has been extensively researched
Patient-centered care is based on value based care to address specific needs of patients
Alignment of patient-centered care and value based care is needed to improve overall wellbeing of patients
Patient centered care to be aligned to patient outcomes, perspectives and experiences to adequately address patient needs.
Plan for knowledge transfer of the changeProposed change is implementation of patient centered care and value based care to patients
Plan for knowledge transfer entails seminar training for all medical professionals at the nursing home.
Knowledge creation entails continuous transfer, combination and conversion of different content about patient centered and value based care. The new approach is implemented as policies at the nursing home.
Dissemination process entails teaching personnel at the nursing home about change. Methods include memo, newsletter, workshops and conferences.
Organizational adoption and implementation: Entails implementation of developed policies to achieve changeover

Description of Measurable Outcomes
With the implementation of patient centered care and value based care, the
following measurable outcomes are anticipated to be achieved:
Residents access to quality care: Residents overall improvement in health is evaluated to determine effectiveness of implemented approach.
Homelike atmosphere: Practices and structures are designed to be less like an institution and more homelike .
Relationship between patients and professionals: Close relationships maintained between health professionals at nursing home and patients.
Staff empowerment and collaboration.
Staff are more empowered to undertake roles and there is more collaborative decision making to deliver enhanced care that is patient-centered
Overall Quality Improvement in Processes: Continuous quality improvement initiatives implemented through culture change and ongoing process to achieve better care (Friesen-Storms et al., 2015).
