Consequences of the evidence for patients or clients
1—- At my clinical site, one internal method for the dissemination of my EBP project would be a team of people elected by the corporation’s shareholders to represent the shareholders’ interests and ensure that the company’s management acts on their behalf. The head of the board of directors is the chairman or chairperson of the board. The external method for the dissemination of your EBP project who be “The American Nurses Association (ANA), they are a premier organization representing the interests of the nation’s four million registered nurses. ANA is at the forefront of improving the quality of health care for all. One that we, as nurses, practices every day.

It is important to report my results to both of these groups: a) Stakeholders can affect or be affected by the organization’s actions, objectives, and policies. b) On the other hand, ANA knows that recognizing the essential value of nurses is just the start. Nurses work in all health care settings and have a unique perspective given that we serve in so many diverse roles and specialties. As a result, nurses can offer insights and contributions on how to improve health care in this country.
One’s lines of communication need to be robust, monitored, and evaluated. This also relates to organizational influence and responsibilities of an individual, and one also needs to recognize their role and appreciate the roles of others, to change each group.
2——– At the Indian Health Council, it is important to share project results with the staff who are participating in the project and those who are affected by the changes. Change agents often use graphs or statistics to show that the project is making a positive impact on patient care. “Reporting of project results is essential to garner continued support and recognition for the program” (Cullen, Dawson, Hanrahan, & Dole, 2014, p. 285). When staff realize that they played an important role in the project, there is more support for the new project, and staff feel recognized for their hard work. This would be an internal method for sharing the EBP (evidence-based practice) project. Staff can see what is working and may have input to continually improve the project.
When looking at the results for a project on screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT), staff may take ownership of the project when they see an increase in the number of patients with positive screens getting brief interventions or referrals to treatment. In addition, the project results can be shared with other directors in the clinic, which promotes more support for the project. According to Cherry (2017), an “…effective change agent will understand that a change in one area almost always will affect another group or department…” (p. 311).
An external method for sharing this nurse’s EBP project results might be sharing the results with tribal leaders, other Indian Health Clinics, or sharing the results in a community newsletter. This shows that the clinic is striving to use the best-evidence based practices to improve patient care and safety. Patients, family members, and community leaders can see the positive impact that the project is making on their community. This not only keeps the clinic in business, but it demonstrates that the clinic is providing quality care for its patients. When presenting the project to the community, the must use language that is understandable and culturally sensitive, which demonstrates that the staff at Indian Health Council cares about their patients. Confidentiality and the stigma of going to a behavioral health department can be barriers, so addressing these concerns can change the way the community thinks about counseling or seeking treatment.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS
Discussion Questions (DQ)
Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words.
Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source.
One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words.
I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.
Weekly Participation
Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately.
In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies.
Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work).
Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.
APA Format and Writing Quality
Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required).
Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.
I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.
Use of Direct Quotes
I discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly.
As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content.
It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.
LopesWrite Policy
For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.
Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.
Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?
Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.
Late Policy
The university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies.
Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances.
If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.
I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.
As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.
Communication
Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me:
Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.
Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours. Consequences of the evidence for patients or clients
