While the implementation plan prepares students to apply their research to the problem or issue they have identified for their capstone change proposal project, the literature review enables students to map out and move into the active planning and development stages of the project.

A literature review analyzes how current research supports the PICOT, as well as identifies what is known and what is not known in the evidence. Students will use the information from the earlier PICOT Statement Paper and Literature Evaluation Table assignments to develop a 750-1,000 word review that includes the following sections:

1. Title page
2. Introduction section
3. A comparison of research questions
4. A comparison of sample populations
5. A comparison of the limitations of the study
6. A conclusion section, incorporating recommendations for further research

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

The dictionary defines accountability as : the quality or state of being accountableespecially: an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one’s actions (Merriam-webster.com, 2019)

Nurses have a responsibility to their patients to be accountable. One of the tools to help and guide nurses are the Nurses Code of Professional Conduct. The nurses Code of Professional conduct or Code of ethics,” is a compilation of ethical rules designed to guide the nurse in making the correct decision in difficult patient-care situations. The Code contains nine provisions, each dealing with a different area of patient care. Nurses must adhere to the Code throughout all interactions with patients, colleagues and other health-care providers.” (Work.chron.com, 2019)

Under Provision 4 int the Code of Ethics it states, “The nurse has authority, accountability, and responsibility for nursing practice; makes decisions; and takes actions consistent with the obligation to promote health and to provide optimal care.” (ANA, 2019)

In caring for a patient, a nurse can demonstrate professional accountability by only rendering care he/she is competent to do. An example of this would be a nurse with no tele experience or training hired to work on a med surge floor being floated or pulled to work on telemetry unit. If that nurse accepted the assignment without having passed a tele competency he/she would be working outside their scope of practice and would be breaking the code of conduct. they would not be showing accountability in their actions to the patients or their practice and could put the patient and nursing license in jeopardy. They could also be charged with misconduct. A Nurse who refused said assignment and bumped up the issue to a supervisor would be holding themselves accountable for the safety of the patients and the integrity of their license.  

The reason we use clinical expertise along with EBP to make decisions is because we as health care providers cannot know everything. Even if we have years of clinical experience and expertise. In that sense it is important to bring clinical expertise together with EBP to bring forward the best care for our patients and by incorporating both we are being fully accountable to our practice and for our patients.

Course Scenario

Chaparral Regional Hospital is a small, urban hospital of approximately 60 beds. The CEO has met with you to let you know that some members of the Board of Directors are questioning the value of developing a quality improvement plan. She has asked you to create an executive summary and an information sheet to be included in the next Board packet. 

Instructions

Topics for the executive summary should include:

1. What is a Quality Improvement plan?
2. Why do healthcare facilities create improvement plans?
3. Why would you recommend the facility create and implement a QI plan?

NOTE – APA formatting for the reference list, and proper grammar, punctuation, and form required.

After completing the Executive Summary, you will create a one-page information sheet for the Board that they can use to answer questions about QI plans.

1. The information sheet should give your CEO and the Board of Directors enough information to have an educated conversation with patients and other stakeholders on the value of QI plans.
2. Make sure to use audience-specific language and tone on your information sheet. Remember, you are writing this information sheet for your CEO and the Board of Directors.
3. Be creative, and make your information sheet fun and organized.

Take Action!  This discussion requires the student to actually take an advocacy action for a health issue of their choice.

1)  Find a health or social service organization that has an advocacy webpage. It is common for an advocacy group to have some kind of action you can take or a link to take action on their home page.  Here are some suggestions 

· If you are already working in health or social service (e.g., nursing) your professional association often takes positions on health policy you might care about. Public health professionals may want to start with the American Public Health Association, for a variety of health issues and actions you can take: http://action.apha.org/site/PageNavigator/Advocacy.

· For instance, on this page you can “take action” on this bill: Speak for health Fund Public health in 2019. Advocating for this bill will help to provide adequate funding for critical public health agencies and programs in FY 2019. To take action you would fill out the provided form and then submit it. Upon submission APHA will ensure delivery to the appropriate state Senators and Representatives. Once completed, you have advocated and in fact, taken action on this health issue! Nice work!

· Another organization that provides opportunity for the public to take action is the  American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. The core issues American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network is focused on are tobacco prevention, cancer research and health care access to name a few. Visit their take action page

· Also, in your text, there are lists of stakeholders (organizations/groups) in chapter 4 pp 74-75; 77 that may have a website in which you could choose to take action. Further, chapter 6-14 covers public health issues and many stakeholders are described in each (which may also have an associated web page you could view and select an action).

2)  Then, engage in an advocacy action (e.g. contact your elected officials, mail, email, call; write a letter to the editor) through their online advocacy site.

Then for the Primary post:

· In the first paragraph of your primary post, describe the organization you selected, the policy action they desire, and the action you took.Lastly, what public health issue/health problem does the policy action that you took address? Be as specific as you can, so someone else reading your post will understand the situation.

· In your second paragraph, you will apply what you have learned:

o Identify one health communication principle, (e.g., tailoring, key messages, target audience, channels, social marketing- 4 Ps)       OR

o One advocacy principle (e.g. problem definition, policy solution, stakeholders, branch of government, unintended consequences of the policy, how to amplify this action) that is being applied to this advocacy action.

o AND then, describe how the health communication/advocacy principle applies to the action you are being asked to take. Reference and cite your text and readings in APA format.

Sources: 

· You are required to use at least THREE sources from the textbook, government reports, peer-reviewed journal articles or textbooks. Use your OWN WORDS (e.g., do not cut and paste from a government report or article). 

·  Paraphrase (use your own words) to report the information.

· Include APA formatted in-text citations to identify your sources AND include full APA formatted references for your sources at the end of your post.

thanks,
