Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to develop a translation science project to support practice change. Evidence translation is essential to drive actions and decisions to improve healthcare outcomes. Formulation of a comprehensive translation science project supports the professional formation of the DNP scholar.
Course Outcomes
This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes:
· CO1: Assess the impact of informatics and information technology on organizational systems, change, and improvement. (PO6)
· CO2: Use information technology to collect and analyze data to generate evidence-based nursing practice across healthcare settings. (PO7)
· CO3: Design programs that monitor and evaluate outcomes of care, care systems, and quality improvement. (PO7)
PREPARING THE ASSIGNMENT:
In order to create flexible options, we are providing you options on your Week 4 Translation Science Project Assignment that focuses on your practice project idea. Concept maps are an effective way to express complex ideas, especially for visual learners. For this assignment, each of the following sections can be presented either as a narrative or as a concept map:
· Practice Problem/PICOT Question
· Evidence Synthesis of Literature to Address Practice Problem
· Appraisal of the Evidence to Address Selected Problem
· Translation Path
Please note that you are not required to complete any or all sections as a concept map. If you choose to use a concept map for a section, it should be created in Microsoft Word and placed in that section of your paper. The concept map must meet all the requirements of the assignment rubric for that section. The rubric and page length requirements of the paper are unchanged.
Follow these guidelines when completing each component of this assignment. Contact your course faculty if you have questions.
