Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal: Implementation Plan
In 1,250-1,500 words, discuss the implementation plan for your evidence-based practice project proposal. When required, create the appropriate form, table, image, or graph to fully illustrate that aspect of the intervention plan and include them in an appendix at the end of your paper. You will use the implementation plan, including the associated documents in your appendices, in the Topic 8 assignment, during which you will synthesize the various aspects of your project into a final paper detailing your evidence-based practice project proposal.
Include the following:
Describe the setting and access to potential subjects. If there is a need for a consent or approval form, then one must be created. Include a draft of the form as an appendix at the end of your paper.
Create a timeline. Make sure the timeline is general enough that it can be implemented at any date. Based on the timeline you created, describe the amount of time needed to complete this project. Include a draft of the timeline as an appendix at the end of your paper.
Develop a budget and resource list. Consider the clinical tools or process changes that would need to take place. Based on the budget and resource list you developed: (a) describe the resources (human, fiscal, and other) or changes needed in the implementation of the solution; and (b) outline the costs for personnel, consumable supplies, equipment (if not provided by the institute), computer-related costs (librarian consultation, database access, etc.), and other costs (travel, presentation development). Include a draft of the budget and resource list as an appendix at the end of your paper.
Explain whether you would select a qualitative or quantitative design to collect data and evaluate the effectiveness of your evidence-based practice project proposal. Provide rationale to support your selection.
Describe the methods and instruments (questionnaire, scale, or test) to be used for monitoring the implementation of the proposed solution. Include the method or instrument as an appendix at the end of your paper.
Explain the process for delivering the intervention and indicate if any training will be needed.
Discuss the stakeholders that are needed to implement the plan.
Consider all of the aspects of your implementation plan and discuss potential barriers or challenges to the plan. Propose strategies for overcoming these challenges.
Establish the feasibility of the implementation plan.
Refer to the "Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal – Assignment Overview" document, located in Class Resources for an overview of the evidence-based practice project proposal assignments.
You are required to cite a minimum of five peer-reviewed sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and nursing content.
Complete the "APA Writing Checklist," located in Class Resources, to ensure that your paper adheres to APA style and formatting criteria and general guidelines for academic writing. Include the completed checklist as an appendix at the end of your paper.

Setting
The study's milieu would encompass acute care hospital establishments, which typically constitute substantial healthcare facilities that deliver brief yet intensive medical attention to individuals afflicted with grave illnesses or injuries. These hospitals are endowed with specialized units, including but not limited to intensive care units (ICUs), surgical wards, emergency departments, and medical-surgical floors.
Access to Potential Subjects
Accessing potential research participants who are registered nurses (RNs) working in these hospital settings involves several key steps. Collaboration with the hospitals is essential to gain permission and support for the study. Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval (See Appendix A) is a prerequisite to ensure ethical standards are met and the rights of participating RNs are protected (Ahmed, 2022). Obtaining informed consent from RNs (See Appendix B) is crucial, and recruitment strategies should be carefully developed, considering factors like years of experience and specific nursing units (Bos, 2020).
Ethical considerations, such as patient privacy regulations, must be upheld throughout the research process. This includes complying with regulations like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to protect patient data (Edemekong et al., 2018). Ensuring the rights and well-being of participating RNs is paramount, allowing them to withdraw from the study without repercussions.
Project Timeline (See Appendix C)
Project Commencement (Month 1)
- Deliberate over research objectives and meticulously craft the research proposal.
- Identify the Principal Investigator and assemble a proficient research team.
- Obtain the requisite initial approvals and secure research funding if deemed necessary.
In-Depth Literature Review and Hypothesis Formulation (Month 2)
- Undertake a diligent and focused review of pertinent scholarly literature.
- Formulate hypotheses and research inquiries, extrapolating from the elucidated literature.
Ethical Clearances and Permissions (Month 3)
- Expedite the preparation of the comprehensive research protocol and the associated informed consent documents.
- Timely submission of the protocol for approval by the discerning Institutional Review Board (IRB) is necessary.
- Seek indispensable permissions from participating healthcare institutions, thereby ensuring access to the intended cohort of subjects.
Participant Recruitment and Informed Consent Process (Months 4-5)
