Submission Instructions: Presentation is original work and logically organized in the current APA style. Incorporate a minimum of 1 current (published within last five years) scholarly journal article or primary legal sources (statutes, court opinions) within your work. 

• 3 slides, excluding the title slide and the reference slide.

Discuss growth opportunities for health insurance in Saudi Arabia. What challenges do you see in the future? How can health insurance in Saudi Arabia financially impact the country? What can it do for health care?

Be sure to support your statements with logic and argument, citing any sources referenced. Post your initial response early, and check back often to continue the discussion.

You are required to reply to at least two of your peers’ answer posts to this weekly discussion question and/or your instructor’s response to your posting. These post replies need to be substantial and constructive in nature. They should add to the content of the post and evaluate/analyze that post’s answer. Normal course dialogue doesn’t fulfill these two peer replies, but is expected throughout the course. Answering all course questions is also required.

Implementing EBP Model in Practice, Administration, or Education Setting

            To implement evidence based practice (EBP), the Iowa Model is widely considered to be one of the best models to use. It is routinely used in implementing EBP in nursing practice and education. This model consists of seven steps for implementation including: selecting a topic, forming a team, evidence retrieval, grading the evidence developing a EBP standard, implementing the evidence, and evaluation (Buckwalter et al., 2017). Due to the thorough nature of this theory, it can useful in implementing EBP interventions in nursing education and/or practice. This model is detailed in terms of the steps that it lays out and allows for a researcher to easy follow the steps to implement EBP in their respective setting. Another important step in the process of implementing EBP is evaluation, this model addresses this topic and allows the researcher to determine if the intervention was effective in practice or an educational setting (Buckwalter et al., 2017).

Introducing the Change

 This change could be introduced by two methods. First to help introduce the change a team could be formed specific to that area of practice (Buckwalter et al., 2017). This would help facilitate engagement among staff members when trying to implement EBP in a practice setting or among learners in an educational environment. The other major factor with using this model to introduce change, is the impact or magnitude of the problem being researched. If the problem lacks depth and importance, it is less likely to be implemented (Buckwalter et al., 2017).

Barriers to Change

 One possible barrier to introducing this model may be lack of support for its use in the practice or educational setting. For example, some staff members may find the IOWA Model more difficult to use compared to other models. Another possible barrier is preconceived notions that EBP research and implementation is difficult and time consuming. Lastly, another barrier to implementing change with this model is that some people may find that using this process takes time and some may not want to use this method (Buckwalter et al., 2017).
