You are expected to develop a plan to evaluate the implementation of the EBP project. Please review all the past readings, table template, resources, instructions, and rubric. Please include a narrative that defines the baseline data (this is described in section A below). You may also add additional information as noted in the sample paper if appropriate to your EBP proposal. The narrative must be 2-4 pages in length. The table for this plan should include Sections B through D below. See the table template (please click on this link).

EBP Evaluation Plan

1. Define baseline data sources and collection strategies – describe data that has been collected which identified need for proposal. It has to be specific baseline data that the results (outcomes) of your proposed implementation will be compared to post implementation.
2. Define outcome indicators for your project (see table).
3. Define outcome measures (see table).
4. Define how data will be collected – time of collection and person responsible (see table)

Note: It would be to your advantage to submit this section as you progress writing the paper to Safe Assign draft areas to verify the originality report for updates. You must achieve an “matching” score of 34% or less FOR THE MODULE 5 SAFEASSIGN FINAL EBP PAPER. 

Identify a topic related to health care and leadership; this will be the subject of your research paper due in week 7. You will then be working to incorporate a leadership theory or approach discussed in this course and apply it to your leadership in healthcare topic in later weeks.  Make sure that your leadership in healthcare topic is neither too broad nor too narrow.

Consider some of the following general areas:

Leadership in:

• Change management in health care
• Technology in health care
• Finance of health care
• Conflict management in health care
• Evidence-based protocols
• Gender equality in the workplace
• Health sector reform
• Embedded safeguards to reduce injury and infection

Please note the above general areas must have a narrower focus in order to work well for a research paper. The list above is not exhaustive, but merely suggestions.

Identify a research area and then develop a thesis statement for your research paper. Ensure your topic is presented in descriptive detail and a clear plan for the research paper is identified. Submit a 1- to 2-page, double-spaced paper identifying your topic in descriptive detail, including a clear plan for your research and a thesis statement.

If you need help creating a thesis statement, view the resources below and or visit Writing Resources area under the Student Resources tab for further information.
