Create a proposal for your Design for Change Capstone Open.docx
- 1. Create a proposal for your Design for Change Capstone Project. Open the template in Doc Sharing. You will include the information from Milestone #1, your PICO question, and evidence appraisal, as you compose this proposal. Your plan is to convince your management team of a nursing problem you have uncovered and you feel is significant enough to change the way something is currently practiced.

Does the use of telehealth monitoring in the home for newly discharged patients from the hospital reduce hospital admissions?P- (Patient, population, or problem): Patients 65 years and older with CHFI- (Intervention): monitoring with telehealthC- (Comparison with other treatment/current practice): compared to patients that do not utilize telehealth monitoringO- (Desired outcome): reduction of hospitalizations for CHF aggregete ( timeframe can be 6 months)DIRECTIONS1.

- 2. a nursing problem you have uncovered and you feel is significant enough to change the way something is currently practiced.2. The format for this proposal will be a paper following the Publication manual of APA 6th edition.3. The paper is to be four- to six-pages excluding the Title page and Reference page.4. As you organize your information and evidence, include the following topics.a. Introduction: Write an introduction but do not use “ Introduction” as a heading in accordance with the rules put forth in the Publication manual of the American Psychological Association (2010, p. 63). Introduce the reader to the plan with evidence-based problem identification and solution.b. Change Plan: Write an overview using the Johns Hopkins Nursing EBP Model and Guidelines (2012)i. Practice Questionii. Evidenceiii. Translationc. Summary5. Citations and References must be included to support the information within each topic area. Refer to the APA manual, Chapter 7, for examples of proper reference format. In-text citations are to be noted for all information contained in your paper that is not your original idea or thought. Ask yourself, “ How do I know this?” and then cite the source. Scholarly sources are expected, which means using peer-reviewed journals and credible websites.6. Tables and Figures may be added as appropriate to the project. They should be embedded within the body of the paper (see your APA manual for how to format and cite). Creating tables and figures offers visual aids to the reader and enhances understanding of your literature review and design for change.GRADING CRITERIA: DESIGN FOR CHANGE CAPSTONE PROJECTCategory Points % DescriptionIntroduction 25 11% Introduction to the plan is nursing focused, with evidence- based problem identification and potential solutions clearly identified.Change Plan; Practice Question (Steps 1– 5) 50 22% Activities to achieve the first steps of change are fully described in detail and are based on the first five steps of the John Hopkins EBP Process; Practice Question.Change Plan; Evidence (Steps 6– 10) 50 22% Activities to achieve steps six through ten of the John Hopkins EBP Process are fully described in detail; Evidence.Change Plan; Translation(Steps 11– 18) 50 22% Activities to achieve the final steps of change are fully described in detail and are based on steps 11 through 18 of the John Hopkins EBP Process; Practice Question.Summary 25 11% Clear, solid summary summarizing the key points and steps of the change plan is included; ways to maintain the change plan are described.APA Format 25 11% Minimal errors.Total 225 points 100%GRADING RUBRIC: CAPSTONE PROJECT MILESTONE #2Assignment Criteria Outstanding or Highest Level of PerformanceA (92– 100%) Very Good or High Level of PerformanceB (84– 91%) Competent or Satisfactory Level of PerformanceC (76– 83%) Poor, Failing or Unsatisfactory Level of PerformanceF (0– 75%) TotalIntroduction25 points Introduction to the plan is nursing focused, with evidence-based problem identification and potential solutions clearly identified.23– 25 points Introduction to the plan is nursing focused, with evidence to support the problem and potential solution identified but convincing areas are missing.21– 22 points Introduction to the plan is provided; however, evidence to support the problem and potential solution is not convincing.19– 20 points Introduction lacks evidence to support need for change and/or potential solution is not realistic.0– 18 points /25Change Plan Practice Question(Steps 1–5)50 points Activities to achieve the first five steps of change are fully described in detail and are based on the first section of the John Hopkins EBP Process:*Practice question is identified.*Scope of the
