Assignment Guidance: Implementing Evidence Based Practice (All Fields)
\nSummative Assessment: 3000 words assignment will be on your chosen area of evidence-based practice, and Pass Mark is 40 %.
\nYou are required to submit a journal style paper outlining your chosen area of evidence-based practice.<\/p>\n
As part of this assessment, you should generate a research question, which is specifically relevant to your own chosen field of nursing. You should devise and implement a related search strategy, utilising appropriate databases. The search should end with the selection of 6 primary source research articles. You should review and appraise the selected research articles. You will identify one key area from your literature review that could potentially be implemented in a practice setting. Using an implementation model, you will discuss related issues for successful implementation<\/p>\n
Topic<\/p>\n
Providing safe and effective care through the implementation of digital healthcare technologies – Digital healthcare technologies can play a significant role in helping to provide safe and effective care to patients. Some examples of how these technologies can be used include:
\nElectronic health records (EHRs): EHRs are digital versions of a patient’s medical record that can be accessed by authorized healthcare providers. By using EHRs, healthcare providers can more easily access and share important patient information, such as diagnoses, medications, and test results, which can help to improve the accuracy and timeliness of care.
\nTelemedicine: Telemedicine technologies allow healthcare providers to remotely diagnose and treat patients using video conferencing and other remote communication tools. This can help to improve access to care for patients who live in underserved or remote areas, or who have mobility limitations.
\nClinical decision support systems: Clinical decision support systems use algorithms and other tools to provide healthcare providers with recommendations for diagnosis and treatment based on the patient’s medical history and current symptoms. These systems can help to improve the accuracy and efficiency of care by providing healthcare providers with evidence-based guidance.
\nPatient portals: Patient portals are online platforms that allow patients to access their medical records, communicate with their healthcare providers, and manage their health information. Patient portals can help to empower patients to take an active role in their own healthcare and improve communication between patients and providers.
\nBy implementing these and other digital healthcare technologies, healthcare providers can help to improve the safety and effectiveness of care for their patients.<\/p>\n

\nAbstract
\nKey words up to 6
\nBackground
\nMethods
\nFindings
\nImplementation of best practice
\nConclusion
\nReference List
\nBe exact
\n\u2022If you were thinking of submitting a manuscript to a
\nspecific journal you would have to meet the article
\nrequirements and this includes a specific structure – if
\nyou failed to do so, your unpublished work will be
\nimmediately sent back
\n\u2022 This assignment requires students to utilise this EXACT
\nSTRUCTURE
\n\u2022 There should be no additional sections \u2013 this will
\nwaste valuable words and lose marks
\nRight Order
\n\u2022 Your sections should be presented in the order specified in the
\nassignment guidance
\n\u2022 Why is this important?
\n\u2022 The order of sections of discussion aids the logical sequencing and
\nlogical flow of your discussion
\n\u2022 If you mix up the sequence \u2013 this can lead to confusion and a lack of
\nclarity \u2013 losing marks
\n\u2022 Therefore, the marker should see this specific structure presented in
\nthe right order
\nWhat\u2019s in a Title
\n\u2022 The title should provide an outline of your chosen area of evidence\u0002based practice
\n\u2022 This needs to be concise, accurate and informative and 10-15words
\nlong
\n\u2022 Note that this should not be your specific research question
\n\u2022 Why is important?
\n\u2022 This is the first part of your article that a potential reader will see &
\nit supports the decision on whether to read your full article
\n\u2022 Therefore it needs to grab the readers attention
\n\u2022 However, it also needs to be an accurate representation of the
\noverall content
\nExample
\nTitle: Public involvement in primary care: an analysis of policy
\nimplementation
\nResearch Question: How is public involvement defined and
\noperationalised within Primary Care Groups ?
\nAbstract
\nWhat should be include:

\nFindings
\nConclusion
\n*the abstract is written after the entire paper as its a synopsis of the
\narticle
\n(200\u2013250 words advised, but words not included in the overall 3000-
\nword count)
\nWhat is its purpose
\n\u2022 This section is a short, concise summary of your overall article
\n\u2022 Academically
\n\u2022 To aid the reader in determining the articles relevance to their own area of
\nresearch interest (part of your database analysis will start with a review of
\nabstracts)
\n\u2022 Can act as a vehicle to communicate main points of the article for readers who
\ndo not have the time to read the full article
\n\u2022 Often a requirement for conference oral or poster presentation \u2013 so it will
\nform part of your dissemination strategy
\nTIP: You can leave writing this section until after you have completed
\nyour assignment as this will help with summarising your main points but
\nremember it should be located in the appropriate place within the
\nassignment structure \u2013 following your article title
\nBackground
\n\u2022 Present the background information related to your
\nchosen area of evidence-based practice and the
\nreasons for your review.
\n\u2022Introduce your formulated question using PICO or PEO
\nand clearly state the aim of your literature review (400
\n– 450 words)
\nBack It Up
\n\u2022 The majority of this section should focus the presentation of information
\nrelated to you specific area of EBP. You do not need to established the
\nimportance of EBP
\n\u2022 Use up-to-date reference sources to support your discussion \u2013 this relates to
\nlevel of currency (sources no older than five years, this includes statistics)
\n\u2022 Such sources should reflect breadth & diversity \u2013 use different types of sources
\non the same subject (research, clinical experience\/viewpoint, policy, regulatory
\nbodies \u2013 this will be dependent on your chosen subject).
\n\u2022 Identify why this area is important \u2013 note that you should use the literature to
\nsupport this rather than give a personal perspective – the marker should NOT
\nsee first person e.g., \u2018I feel this is important because \u2026\u2019
\n\u2022 Indeed, do not use first person at all through the assignment
\nPractice the Art of Being Concise
\n\u2022 Introduce your formulated question using PICO or PEO and clearly
\nstate the aim of your literature review
\n\u2022 This is a descriptive element within the Background section \u2013
\ntherefore, it needs to be kept to a minimum in relation to word use
\n\u2022 You need to briefly introduce your research question, link to PICO\/PEO
\nand the aim of the literature review
\n\u2022 E.g. This article will conduct a literature review to answer the research
\nquestion [insert question], conducting a search strategy informed by
\nPICO\/PEO [insert your PICO\/PEO], with a summary and synthesis of
\nkey findings. Implications for nursing practice will be explored through
\nthe use of an implementation framework.
\nMethods
\nThis section should give a clear but brief account of your search strategy
\nThe Search Include: (you are allowed up to 3 tables, which are not part of the word
\ncount)
\n\u2022 Identify the database\/s that you have utilised
\n\u2022 Keywords can be presented as a Table
\n\u2022 Inclusion & Exclusion criteria can be presented as a Table
\n\u2022 Identify Use of Boolean Operators
\n\u2022 Identify number of original hits \u2013 data sifting should be linked to use of the
\ninclusion\/exclusion criteria and any limiters used
\n\u2022 This should lead on to identification of 6 PRIMARY RESEARCH articles
\nAssessment of Quality
\n\u2022 You should identify & utilise an appropriate appraisal tool
\n\u2022 Briefly highlight the tool and the results in-text (e.g. CASP)
\n\u2022 Again, this is a descriptive element \u2013 so it important to keep this concise and
\nthere is no need to give an overly detailed account of each article \u2013 if you have
\nused a tool that gives a numerical score \u2013 you can include this in-text (450-500
\nwords)
\nFindings
\nThe findings of these six research studies should be
\nstated with an overall summary and synthesis of the
\nresults. Note the main points\/themes\/issues of the
\nliterature in relation to your research question (750 –
\n800 words)
\nSummary & Synthesis
\n\u2022 When discussing your research articles \u2013 please use author and date
\nrather than numbering them e.g. Smiddy et al (2022) rather than
\nArticle 1
\n\u2022 You will need to very briefly identify the research design of each study
\n\u2013 however, you are not required to critique the research itself
\n\u2022 This section requires you to read critically \u2013 get to know your six
\narticles in-depth particularly the findings \u2013 this is important for this
\nsection but also for \u2018Implementation of Best Practice\u2019
\n\u2022 You will need to synthesise these findings
\nHow do we synthesise?
\n\u2022 Learning Points
\n\u2022If you present the findings of each study separately \u2013 e.g.
\nin six small paragraphs without the involvement of other
\nreference sources
\n\u2022 This is a descriptive summary that is under referenced
\n\u2022It can also read like a list rather than a discussion
\n\u2022 This can gain some marks but how can you increase your
\nmarks for this section?
\nPara One – Discussion of one article
\nPara Two – Discussion of one article
\nPara Three – Discussion of one article
\nPara Four – Discussion of one article
\nPara five – Discussion of one article
\nPara Six – Discussion of one article
\nCritical Analysis \u2013 Level 6
\nThe key here \u2013 is to move your discussion to analysis, how?
\n\u2022 Use third person in your discussion
\n\u2022 Use comparative discussion
\n\u2022 What were the similarities and differences in the study findings?
\n\u2022 Similarities can be pulled together as key issues or themes
\n\u2022 Can you link these issues\/themes to other references sources e.g. if you find that
\na key theme is a lack of knowledge and training in relation to care of individuals
\nwith long-term conditions \u2013 we can bring in NMC requirements to keep practice
\nup to date, we can link to the Long-Term Conditions Strategy \u2013 so we have not
\nonly linked a number of research study findings, but also linked to standards and
\npolicy
\nPara One – Key theme\/issue
\nA number of your six articles with relatable findings
\nAdd other appropriate reference sources \u2013 professional, policy, other research
\nPara Two \u2013 Key theme\/issue
\nA number of your six articles with relatable findings
\nAdd other appropriate reference sources \u2013 professional, policy, other research
\nPara Three \u2013 Key theme\/issue
\nA number of your six articles with relatable findings
\nAdd other appropriate reference sources \u2013 professional, policy , other research
\nImplementation of best practice
\n\u2022 Identify a key issue\/intervention from your review of the
\nresearch findings that could be implemented in clinical
\npractice.
\n\u2022 Using an implementation model as a framework e.g., PARIHS
\n\u2022 Consider how you would implement the approach in practice
\ntaking into account key stakeholders (900 \u2013 1000 words)
\nReview Implementation Scenario\/s
\n\u2022 Review six research articles \u2013 what can you take forward for
\nimplementation \u2013 remember you just need one
\n\u2022 Training
\n\u2022 Initiatives
\n\u2022 Coping Strategies
\n\u2022 Interventions
\n\u2022 Tool
\n\u2022 It is important to pick an implementation model\/framework that fits
\nyour strategy rather than trying to fit your strategy to the model\/
\nframework
\n\u2022 You should not use first person in your discussion
\nLearning Points
\n\u2022 This can be a section that is under referenced, too generalised and
\ndoes not utilise the stated word count \u2013 remember it is 900-1000
\nwords, which highlights its importance
\n\u2022 Students state the implementation framework\/model but do not
\nintegrate into their discussion within the section \u2013 integrating your
\nframework moves your discussion more towards analysis
\n\u2022 The discussion is too generalised \u2013 and does not sufficiently link to the
\nstated area of implementation, always keep your initiative visible
\nwhen moving through your discussion
\nLearning Points
\n\u2022 Again, this can a section that is under referenced and rushed \u2013
\nalways ask yourself \u2018can I support this discussion point with
\nanother reference source\u2019
\n\u2022 Again link to a diversity of sources, this shows a breadth of
\nreading
\n\u2022 Other theoretical concepts such as leadership, change\/project
\nmanagement, teamworking can be used
\n\u2022 Service user involvement may play a part in your
\nimplementation initiative \u2013 if so then this is also a reference
\nsource\/s
\n\u2022 Leave enough time to complete this section
\nConclusion
\n\u2022 Complete your article with a brief conclusion drawing together the key ideas
\nthat specifically answered your research question and summarise implications
\nof your findings for practice (200 \u2013 250 words).
\n\u2022 Pull together your research findings and points from the implementation,
\nensure you have stated implications for practice
\n\u2022 There is no need to tell the marker about the mechanics
\n\u2022 I did a literature review
\n\u2022 I used an appraisal tool
\n\u2022 I analysed six research articles
\n\u2022 Do not use first person \u2013 keep to third person
\n\u2022 Again, this has the potential to be somewhat rushed so leave enough time to
\ncomplete an adequate conclusive paragraph
\nReferences
\n\u2022 This summative work should reflect Harvard
\nReferencing both in-text and within a well constructed
\nreference list \u2013 there should be at least 30 quality
\nsources
\n\u2022It is clear from previous submissions \u2013 that for some
\nstudents this remains problematic
\n\u2022 We will be reviewing generic points in relation to
\nassignment writing and marking criteria next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
