Re: Topic 7 DQ 1  Internal Project Team Identified  The internal project team for the change project are identified as the nurse, administration, social workers, teachers, case managers, counselors, and support staff (Spruce, 2015).  External Project Team Identified  The external team includes the parent or guardian, the health care provider, mental health providers, external social workers, school board and community members (Spruce, 2015).  Identification of Scope of Project  The EBP internal and external teams or representatives would ideally meet together, but at the very least will be presented the information needed for collaboration to bring consensus to the methods of monitoring students who have been identified with needs through screenings and have been presented with referrals for services (Spruce, 2015).  Identifying the Evidence  The nurses involved in screening will need to present to both groups evidence for the need to screen, identify, give referrals, and monitor to ensure that needed services are in place and implemented. The nurses will also make practice recommendations to both groups as they are stakeholders in not only making things happen, but funding for screening and monitoring. Health care and mental health care will need to support with identification of funding sources, monitoring and surveillance and services (Spruce, 2015).  Importance of Reporting Results to Both Groups  Providing feedback to team members is extremely important. Everyone wants to know if the time, effort, and funding is making a difference. Feedback is important from the stakeholders to make sure needed changes are working in the most streamlined manner. It is recommended to review the process every two years or as often as needed when evidence changes or practice needs change. Teaching the groups the importance of the long-term benefits of early childhood screenings and the financial incentives to both community and family are a must (Spruce, 2015).  Communication Strategies   Internal communication would include teaching screening methods, referral processes, and monitoring from the school perspective. Technology can most definitely be used to integrate EBP for identification and follow-through (Spruce, 2015).  Spruce, L. (2015). Back to basics: Implementing evidence-based practice.

The main objective of dissemination is to rise and encourage to spread the knowledge regarding evidence- based interventions. The main goal of enhancing better applications and patient outcome. There are various internal and external methods of disseminating evidence- based project. However, the method applied should be effective. The effectiveness characterized by positive engagement of the targeted audience, which enhances awareness, understanding and motivation to implement in the workplace. One of the hardest aspects of evidence-based practice (EBP) is making sure that the change we wanted to occur actually happens. So, evaluation of the results is a major component of evidence-based practice. It shows the progress that you have made throughout the process, it shows the failures and it also shows the success. As Ginex p states “Share the outcomes but also the process of your project: what worked, what didn’t, what you learned, and what you would do (or not do!) again” (Ginex, 2018).  “Dissemination can occur in many forms within your organization and beyond, and it should be part of the planning process for the full project” (Ginex, 2018). One internal method of dissemination of the project can be the hospital board, nurses and physicians and other professionals involved in patient care. These people have the most power to make the most change necessary to make the EBP successful. An internal method of disseminating of my EBP is through my unit counsel group and policy committee. These groups to ensure my EBP project will be implemented according to unit needs. One external method of dissemination can be the patients and families. External dissemination doesn’t even have to be through people it can be used through posters or even through on-line media. The internal and external groups are very important to facilitate sharing knowledge and data in the nursing field. Moreover, when reporting the finding to the groups would facilitate constructive criticism of the result, it will provide the opportunity to improve before implementation.     References:   Ginex, P.
