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 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; (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.
Establish the feasibility of the implementation plan.

Solution:

Implementation Plan for Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal

Setting and Access to Potential Subjects:

The proposed evidence-based practice project will be implemented in a large teaching hospital in a major city. The target population for the project is patients with type 2 diabetes who are being treated in the hospital’s outpatient diabetes clinic. Patients will be identified as potential subjects for the project based on their diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and their willingness to participate in the study.

To gain access to potential subjects, the research team will work with the clinic staff to identify eligible patients and to provide information about the study. A consent form (see appendix 1) will be provided to patients who are interested in participating in the study. The form explains the purpose of the study, the procedures involved, and the potential risks and benefits of participation. Patients who agree to participate will be asked to sign the form to indicate their consent.

Timeline:

The proposed timeline for the project is shown in appendix 2. The timeline includes all of the major activities that will be needed to complete the project, including recruitment, data collection, analysis, and dissemination of the results. The timeline is general enough that it could be implemented at any date, but it is assumed that the project will be conducted over a period of approximately 6 months.

Budget and Resource List:

The budget and resource list for the project is shown in appendix 3. The budget includes the costs for personnel, consumable supplies, equipment (if not provided by the hospital), computer-related costs (librarian consultation, database access), and other costs (travel, presentation development). The resource list includes
