HCA699 Evidence-Based Research Project

Week 8 Assignment  

Benchmark - Evidence-Based Practice Proposal Final Paper

Throughout this course, you have been developing a formal, evidence-based practice proposal.

The proposal is the plan for an evidence-based practice project designed to address a problem, issue, or concern in the professional work setting. Although several types of evidence can be used to support a proposed solution, a sufficient and compelling base of support from valid research studies is required as the major component of that evidence. Proposals are submitted in a format suitable for obtaining formal approval in the work setting. Proposals will vary in length depending upon the problem or issue addressed, but they should be between 3,500 and 5,000 words. The cover sheet, abstract, References page, and appendices are not included in the word count.

Section headings and letters for each section component are required. Responses are addressed in narrative form in relation to that number. Evaluation of the proposal in all sections is based upon the extent to which the depth of content reflects graduate-level critical thinking skills.

This project contains six formal sections:

Section A: Problem Description

Section B: Research Support

Section C: Proposed Solution

Section D: Change Model

Section E: Implementation Plan

Section F: Evaluation of Process

Each section (A-F, to be completed in Topics 1-6) will be submitted as separate assignments so your instructor can provide feedback for revision (refer to each topic for specific assignments).

The final paper will consist of the completed project (with revisions to all sections), title page, abstract, References list, and appendices. Appendices will include a conceptual model for the project, handouts, data and evaluation collection tools, a budget, a timeline, resource lists, and approval forms.

An abstract is required for the final paper.

Refer to the "EBP Implementation Plan Guide" and the "Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal Format" as tools for developing your proposal.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
