Possible Practicum Site Needs Assessment & PICOT/Evidence Table Assignment Guidelines
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is for the student to explore the needs of their possible practicum site and to ensure the student has a topic idea that is seen as needed within the practicum site where they intend to implement their future DNP Scholarly Project. This assignment will help enhance communication with key stakeholders, help the students reflect on the previously conducted literature review, and make changes accordingly with the findings from the interview. Furthermore, you will refine the PICOT question based on the results from the interview. This assignment will provide the students with an opportunity to build a graded evidence table that they will use later on in the practicum project proposal.

· To complete this assignment, please use the possible practicum site needs assessment form and submit the questionnaire in an APA document with a title page, an introduction, a conclusion, and a graded pieces of evidence table, as well as a references page.
· Please make sure to fill out every section of the practicum site needs assessment form, as you will need the format in additional classes.
· Please go ahead and schedule a time to meet with a leader/decision-maker in your possible practicum site within week six on the course Translation Science. Remember that the assignment is due by Saturday night; try to interview at the beginning of the week if feasible.
· Explain to the key stakeholder your status as a student in a DNP in the healthcare leadership program, explain the expectations from your mentor and the DNP team member regarding your scholarly practicum project.
· Please make sure you explain to the key stakeholder that you will be implementing a change in practice based on existing evidence and will not be conducting any new research.
· Explain to the key stakeholder decision-maker that your DNP practicum project must be based on a need of the practicum site.
· Please know that you will need a letter of support for your project from the practicum site in a further class. Your DNP mentor will provide you with a template when the time comes.
· This assignment also seeks to improve communication by creating a collaborative relationship with key stakeholders in the practicum site by helping you determine a topic that needs attention and could eventually become your DNP practicum project.
· Once you have identified a topic/issue, review the previously performed literature review to see if some articles can help you address the issues. If not, perform a search of evidence to determine potential ways to address the issue/topic.
· Please grade five pieces of evidence in the table of evidence provided at the end of this assignment guidelines.
· To complete this application, you will need to access the Miami Regional College virtual library database.
