INTRODUCTION
Note: Introduction should include a brief description of the problem,
presence of problem in clinical setting, approach in resolving the problem,
and high-level description of the intervention
In-text citations are expected.
BACKGROUND
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM
Note: A detailed description of the problem, including its significance and
why the project is appropriate for the site where it will be implemented.
Identify the clinical setting and participants. Provide data to support the
existence of the problem at your site. According to your Moran, Burson &
Conrad text, this section expands on the Introduction and leads to the
development of a clinical question that may be presented using a PICO(T)
approach
In-text citations are expected.
SYNTHESIS OF THE EVIDENCE
Note: Synthesis of the evidence supporting the intervention. This is
accomplished by comparing key concepts from an evidence table to
summarize what is currently known about the problem.
In-text citations are expected.
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Note: The theoretical framework (informal or formal frameworks, models,
concepts, and/or theories) used to explain the problem and any reasons or
assumptions that were used to develop the intervention(s)
In-text citations are expected.
PROJECT TYPE, PURPOSE
, OBJECTIVES,
& EXPECTED OUTCOMES
Note: Here you identify the project type (EBP, QI, Policy, or Program
Evaluation), Purpose, Objectives and Expected Outcomes
Note: An EBP project involves implementation of an evidence-based
intervention that is not currently in place in the clinical setting
Note: A Quality Improvement project aims at improving identified outcomes
and is generally site specific
Note: A Policy project rigorously analyzes health policy for implementation
Note: Program Evaluation uses an established method to evaluate
programming and make recommendations to a healthcare organization
Methods
METHOD OR MODEL
Note: Method or Model used that aligns with the project type – For example,
an EBP Project would align with models like the IOWA Model, ARCC, ACE,
Stetler, JHNEBP Model, etc… A QI Project would align with a Model for
Improvement, like PDSA, Six Sigma, Lean, SPO and others. A Policy Project
would align with Bardach & Patashnik or Weimer & Vining Models and
others
Note: Refer to your notes from NURS 780 to assist you as needed
In-text citations are expected.
IMPLEMENTATION STEPS
Note: What specific implementation steps will you take to implement the
project – implementation steps should align with the model you have
selected
MEASURES/TOOLS
•
Notes to consider for the next few slides (from the Measurement Plan
Guidelines):
•
What will be measured? How often will you measure this? Who is
responsible for the measurement?
•
Describe the approach for the ongoing assessment of contextual elements
that contribute to the success, failure, efficiency, and cost.
•
Will you use a tool? Describe the validity and reliability.
•
In-text citations are expected.
DATA MONITORING PLAN
How will you monitor your data?
Describe what methods you will use for assessing the completeness and
accuracy of data.
Describe your planned Data collection procedures.
Will you be reviewing your plan with your project team, leadership, and
organization regularly to ensure there is clarity about what you are trying
to achieve? What information will you share with them?
DATA ANALYSIS PLAN
How do you plan to evaluate the results/analyze the data?
Describe the method(s) of data analysis for the data you will be collecting
during the project implementation time (descriptive data, t-test, chi-
square, logistic regression, etc).
Describe how you will evaluate the outcomes identified by your clinical
question as well as the strengths and limitations of the project.
With whom will you share your results (unit team, unit leadership, hospital
leadership, board members)?
PLANNED IRB PROCESS
Note: Here you will note what IRB process your DNP Project will
follow. For example, will your project be going through USC’s
eIRB process?, or through your clinical site’s IRB process?, or
both?
PROJECT TIMELINE
BUDGET AND/OR NEEDED RESOURCES
DNP Essentials
DNP ESSENTIALS
Note: Address how the project incorporates applicable DNP Essentials. Be
sure to address Essential 2: Organizational & Systems Leadership since
nurses effectively and proactively coordinate resources to provide safe,
quality, and equitable care to diverse populations.
REFERENCES
Note: The references should reflect citations used in the
presentation. Make sure that all citations and references are in
APA format.
