Instructions: Capstone Project Milestone 1: Practice Issue and Evidence Summary Guidelines
Updated 2/5/2018
Purpose
Clear identification of the practice issue is the first step in evidence-based nursing. Next, the evidence is reviewed to determine the best intervention to change practice outcomes. Completion of the milestone will include identification of the practice issue using the ACE Star Model of Knowledge Transformation and a review of the evidence that will support an intervention that will change outcomes. The evidence summary will be conducted through the 'breaking down' of a systematic review on your topic for your change project.
