Potential Interventions and One Best Intervention

Potential Interventions and One Best Intervention
The Way to One Best Intervention
Organizational and research evidence is the key to the success of your capstone project. As you know, organizational evidence includes data from publicly reported sources; site-specific performance indicators and structure-, process-, or outcome-related metrics; or aggregate data metrics found in reports used by leaders at the site. Research evidence includes results from peer-reviewed journal studies and reports published by authoritative sources. Up to this point, both organizational and research evidence has been gathered to substantiate the challenge, the need for improvement, and the significance of that improvement.
The next step—synthesizing research evidence to substantiate potential improvement interventions and one best improvement intervention—is much more involved. It requires the completion of multiple steps and a much closer and deeper search, review, appraisal, and synthesis of research evidence. Not to worry, each step you take will create guideposts to develop a map that leads the way to one best evidence-based improvement intervention. You can feel confident that the evidence will lead the way!
This week, you will create a systematic search strategy, conduct a search, summarize search results, appraise the evidence, and write a literature review and synthesis of the evidence for potential improvement interventions and one best evidence-based intervention.
TO DO LIST:
· Discussion: Share your analysis of the evidence for potential interventions.
· What You Need to Know: Learn about determining potential interventions and one best evidence-based intervention.
In this activity, you will describe the search strategy you used to find research evidence for potential interventions and one best intervention. You will then summarize your results.

Search for Potential Interventions
Note: Remember to adhere to the requirements for initial discussion postings and responses addressed in the Discussions section of the Course Policies and Expectations presentation.
The first step in identifying the one best intervention for your capstone project is to search for evidence from six peer-reviewed studies to support two to three potential interventions. To do this, you must create a systematic search strategy. This type of search strategy requires multiple steps, specific methods, and an organized structure for documenting the results of your search.
This discussion activity has two parts:
Part 1: Search Strategy
To prepare for this part of the discussion following tasks:
Step 1: Analyze key information and evidence.
Step 2: Draft and/or refine your search-specific question(s).
Step 3: Develop your search strategy methods, conduct the search, and document your search results.
In your initial post, discuss your analysis findings, share your draft, describe your search strategy methods, and document your search results. Address the following questions or points in your post:
What search terms and areas of literature did you identify from your analysis of the key information and evidence you have gathered thus far?
How did your analysis help to refine your previous question draft?
Did you develop any additional question drafts related to potential improvement interventions?
Describe your search strategy. Be sure to include:
Search terms.
Sources of evidence, such as databases used.
Publication date limits used for the search.
Inclusion and exclusion criteria.
A summary of how your search relates to your topic elements.
Describe your search results. Include:
The total number of publications found.
The number of publications found for each search term.
Details on which publications you chose to keep and not keep, along with the rationale for your decision.
Discussion Part 2: Literature Review
Attach a draft of your literature review and critical appraisal of each of the six peer-reviewed studies.
This draft literature review and critical appraisal must be a minimum of 4 pages, not including a title page and references page.
