Create an 8- to 9-slide narrated PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:

Briefly describe your healthcare organization, including its culture and readiness for change. (You may opt to keep various elements of this anonymous, such as your company name.)
Describe the current problem or opportunity for change. Include in this description the circumstances surrounding the need for change, the scope of the issue, the stakeholders involved, and the risks associated with change implementation in general.
Propose an evidence-based idea for a change in practice using an EBP approach to decision making. Note that you may find further research needs to be conducted if sufficient evidence is not discovered.
Describe your plan for knowledge transfer of this change, including knowledge creation, dissemination, and organizational adoption and implementation.
Explain how you would disseminate the results of your project to an audience. Provide a rationale for why you selected this dissemination strategy.
Describe the measurable outcomes you hope to achieve with the implementation of this evidence-based change.

Sample Solution

Slide 1: Title Slide

  • Title: Evidence-Based Practice Change Proposal
  • Your Name
  • Organization (or anonymous description)
  • Date

Slide 2: Organizational Overview

  • Brief description of the organization (size, type, mission, vision)
  • Organizational culture (collaborative, innovative, risk-averse, etc.)
  • Readiness for change (past experiences, change champions, barriers)

Slide 3: Problem/Opportunity Identification

  • Clear and concise statement of the problem or opportunity
  • Background and context of the issue
  • Scope of the problem (impacts, consequences)
  • Stakeholders involved (internal and external)
  • Potential risks of change implementation

Slide 4: EBP Approach

  • Outline the steps of the EBP process (ask, acquire, appraise, apply, assess)
  • Describe the evidence search process (databases, keywords)
  • Present key findings from the literature review
  • Identify evidence gaps (if any)

Slide 5: Proposed Evidence-Based Change

  • Clearly articulate the proposed change in practice
  • Explain how the evidence supports the proposed change
  • Discuss the feasibility of implementing the change

Slide 6: Knowledge Transfer Plan

  • Describe the knowledge creation process (involving stakeholders)
  • Outline the dissemination strategies (education, training, communication)
  • Explain the plan for organizational adoption and implementation (pilot testing, evaluation)

Slide 7: Dissemination of Results

  • Identify the target audience for the dissemination
  • Choose a dissemination method (conference presentation, publication, poster)
  • Justify the choice of dissemination strategy

Slide 8: Measurable Outcomes

  • Define specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) outcomes
  • Explain how outcomes will be evaluated (data collection methods)

Slide 9: Conclusion

  • Summarize the key points of the presentation
  • Reiterate the importance of the proposed change
  • Emphasize the potential benefits of successful implementation

Note:

  • Use visuals effectively (charts, graphs, images) to enhance understanding.
  • Keep slides concise and easy to read.
  • Practice your narration to ensure clear and effective communication.
  • Be prepared to answer questions about your proposal.

Additional Tips:

  • Tailor the presentation to your specific audience.
  • Consider including a slide on potential challenges and mitigation strategies.
  • Emphasize the importance of collaboration and stakeholder involvement throughout the process.

By following this outline and incorporating relevant information, you can create a compelling and informative presentation that effectively communicates your proposed evidence-based change.
