Assessment Description
Sustaining change can be difficult, as there are many variables that can affect implementation. One critical component of EBP is to ensure that practice change is part of an organization’s culture so it will continue to impact outcomes over time. Name two potential barriers that may prevent your evidence-based change proposal from continuing to obtain the same desired results 6 months to a year from now and your strategies for overcoming these challenges.

The purpose of this assignment is to develop a presentation for your capstone project change proposal that you will present in Topic 10 to leaders and interprofessional stakeholders at your practicum site.
Prepare a presentation using as a guide the Topic 8 “Benchmark – Capstone Project Change Proposal” that was completed previously.

- Summarize the evidence/literature, including connection to the proposed plan.
- Propose an implementation plan with an intervention and outcome measures.

- Roles and responsibilities discussed should be specific to the implementation of your proposed project.
- Describe the resources needed for project implementation.
- Discuss the evaluation plan for proposed nursing intervention.
