Propose an evidence-based solution
Applying The Iowa Model Revised: Evidence-Based Practice to Promote Excellence in Health Care create a written proposal for these components of an evidence-based practice solution.
Implementation plan for the proposed evidence-based practice solution including:
Description of key stakeholders
Proposed timeline
The evaluation plan for the proposed evidence-based practice solution including
At least two goals written in the SMART format
Description of types of internal and external data necessary to collect
Description of the timeline for data collection
Description of methods for data analysis
Plan for sustained practice change including:
Description of at least two resources needed to sustain permanent change
Description of at least two key indicators for
Sample Solution
Implementation Plan for the Proposed Evidence-Based Practice Solution: The key stakeholders in the implementation of this evidence-based practice solution are members of healthcare organizations, primary care providers, patients and their families, health informatics personnel, policymakers, and other healthcare professionals. The timeline for implementation should begin with a review of current practices by each stakeholder group to identify gaps in protocol or areas which require improvement. This will be followed by development and testing of the proposed evidence-based practice solution across a small sample size within each stakeholder group. Upon successful completion of the pilot program at each site, full implementation can then begin across all sites with ongoing evaluation to ensure adherence to protocol as well as identifying opportunities for further refinement.
PlayBuild is an after-school program located in New Orleans which repurposes vacant lots around central city to engage kids with the architectural history and design of public spaces with outdoor play with imagination playground and design challenges. Do these activities have unique cognitive learning opportunities that warrant investment, and if so what curriculum decisions contribute to positive learning outcomes and what kinds of methodology are feasible to measure such a cognitive development among children? A literature review on play and children’s cognitive development has been done to explore these three questions.
Before detailing particular research findings, below is a brief summary of this literature review. Research suggests that role play, joint action, and physically modeling objects, spaces, or systems can develop perspective-taking and systems literacy (Harris, Vygotsky, Schwartz et al., Sebanz et al., 2006). Research comparing invention-based curriculum with teaching-practice curriculums show evidence of perspective change (e.g., seeing deep structural relationships vs. surface feature covariation) and evidence that perception of deep structure correlates with increases in understanding and transfer.
Invention-based curriculums have the potential to engage participants in fantasy and role play as well as scale to forms of meaningful sociocultural participation in the community. Design and construction of diagrams and models of homes, cities, spaces, or city systems grounded in the community and history of New Orleans is worth an investment because it affords opportunities to develop perspective-taking, systems reasoning, metacognition, and mathematical and spatial thinking skills through meaningful participation in local community culture.
