1. Begin with a written plan that outlines goals and objectives for the actual mass vaccination. That plan should be approximately 1000 words in length. Hint – Think of this in terms of an appendix to an EOP. 2. Choose a community with which you are familiar and prepare the following within your spreadsheet. Each item should have a tab within the sheet.

Final Project – Data Gathering

One skill that will make you more “marketable” as a planner is a working knowledge of Access (data base) and Excel or Numbers (spreadsheet). This project will serve two purposes. First, you will learn how to gather the data needed to move a project forward. Second, you will use a spreadsheet application to report your data.
This individual project replaces the traditional “final paper” for the course. You will first read the FEMA Whole Community Preparedness document. (Find it in Resource Room). You will then do some data gathering. The object is to prepare for a mass vaccination program in a community in anticipation of a novel strain flu outbreak.
1. Begin with a written plan that outlines goals and objectives for the actual mass vaccination. That plan should be approximately 1000 words in length. Hint – Think of this in terms of an appendix to an EOP.
2. Choose a community with which you are familiar and prepare the following within your spreadsheet. Each item should have a tab within the sheet.
• Create a data base of demographic data (population size, ages, income level, special needs etc) for the community. Use actual numbers gathered from municipal, county and state resources.
• Create a prioritization scheme (with guidance from CDC) to decide the order in which individuals and/or groups receive the vaccine, especially if there isn’t enough vaccine for everyone to get it or batches are released in intervals.
• Create a list of individuals who would assist with the program. Think beyond those who actually administer the injection
• Create a list of hospital emergency departments with bed capacity and typical staffing (physician, nursing, ancillary) in the event of an actual outbreak. It would be ideal to speak with the person in charge of emergency management for each facility, but you may need to call the nurse manager and department director.
• Create a map showing key locations (hospitals, fire stations, community centers, churches, schools etc) where staff could do the vaccinating. Use programs such as google earth to assist in map creation.
3. End with a 1000 word written report of your findings. Include a list of the factors you took into consideration as you developed the project. Your report should be realistic in terms of the plan’s ability to mass vaccinate your community. This should be a technical report (facts, figures etc) more than an academic exercise. Again, think in terms of an EOP.
You may use either Microsoft Excel or Apple Numbers to create your spreadsheet. (I prefer Excel but can open either).
See the attached grading rubric so you know what I address when I review your project.
If you are not adept at using a spreadsheet, contact Atomic Learning (www.philau.edu/atomiclearning/) for assistance.

Identify the processes and barriers to policy change 2. Demonstrate critical thinking skills in determining the feasibility and the steps required to facilitate change in policy in nursing practice 3. Demonstrate critical thinking skills in determining a plan to establish a culture of evidence-based nursing practice Assignment Guidelines

/in /by

Topic: EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE PAPER

Order Description

Incorporating Evidence-based Practice Paper

Once a nurse decides that the evidence is strong enough to support a change in practice, there must be a process in place to disseminate this evidence throughout the institution, facilitate discussion about the evidence, and initiate a change in policy.
This assignment challenges you to assess the resources and processes already in place at your place of work, determine who would need to be involved in discussions about the evidence and subsequent policy changes, and the steps you would take to establish processes or initiate change.

Assignment Objectives

The students will
1. Identify the processes and barriers to policy change

2. Demonstrate critical thinking skills in determining the feasibility and the steps required to facilitate change in policy in nursing practice

3. Demonstrate critical thinking skills in determining a plan to establish a culture of evidence-based nursing practice

Assignment Guidelines

Write a 4 TO 5 page paper using the following outline:

1. Introduction of the policy (either the policy you investigated for the Review of Literature or another policy that you have determined needs changing)

2. Sources, resources, and processes already in place to assist in facilitating evidence-based policy changes.

3. Challenges or barriers you would find in making these changes.

4. Steps you would take to initiate a change in policy.

5. Steps you would take to establish a culture of evidence-based practice.

6. Conclusion

7. References

Guide to writing the paper
Find out where the problem is. What are you going to do about it? What are planning to change? Why? Are you going to establish new polices? Why do you want to change the current practices? This is a hypothetical change. What can you make better?
Do you have resources to do that? Do you have a special committee?
What are the barriers?
What steps are you going to initiate to make this change?
You need to establish evidence-based practice. What are the steps to change the practices? What are you going to do?
Design a protocol and plan it.
Make sure to write conclusion, summary.
5 articles
4-5 pages
The goal is to improve quality of care.
Look at systematic review on the topic. Plan implementation. What factors will make your plan successful, what factors will make it less successful. Stay away from weak evidence. Change has to be feasible and applicable to your population. What will facilitate the change? Work environment, right setting, and right mindset of the coworkers. You need to have a good plan. Involve all stake holders (PTs, nutritionists, etc.)
Do you have resources in place?

I will upload the 5 articles needed asap. Keep in mind that this paper is a continuation of the previous one you wrote on CAM in pediatric sickle cell. I did revise the conclusion part a little so i will also upload the revised paper for you as well
