 Everything you are going to need is the attachment and don’t forget to do as it asks. 

P.S please follow the instructions in the instructions box images. This paper is very important. Use the scholarly articles that are less than 5 years published.  Don’t forget to go over the rubric while you write the paper. I need 3-4 pages, not including the title and references page

n this Assignment, you will identify an issue or opportunity for change within your healthcare organization and propose an idea for a change in practice supported by an EBP approach.

To Prepare:

• Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you critically appraised in Module 4, related to your clinical topic of interest and PICOT.

• Reflect on your current healthcare organization and think about potential opportunities for evidence-based change, using your topic of interest and PICOT as the basis for your reflection.

• Consider the best method of disseminating the results of your presentation to an audience.

The Assignment: (Evidence-Based Project)

Part 4: Recommending an Evidence-Based Practice Change

Create an 8- to 9-slide narrated PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:

• Briefly describe your healthcare organization, including its culture and readiness for change. (You may opt to keep various elements of this anonymous, such as your company name.)

• Describe the current problem or opportunity for change. Include in this description the circumstances surrounding the need for change, the scope of the issue, the stakeholders involved, and the risks associated with change implementation in general.

• Propose an evidence-based idea for a change in practice using an EBP approach to decision making. Note that you may find further research needs to be conducted if sufficient evidence is not discovered.

• Describe your plan for knowledge transfer of this change, including knowledge creation, dissemination, and organizational adoption and implementation.

• Explain how you would disseminate the results of your project to an audience. Provide a rationale for why you selected this dissemination strategy.

• Describe the measurable outcomes you hope to achieve with the implementation of this evidence-based change.

• Be sure to provide APA citations of the supporting evidence-based peer reviewed articles you selected to support your thinking.

• Add a lessons learned section that includes the following:

• A summary of the critical appraisal of the peer-reviewed articles you previously submitted

• An explanation about what you learned from completing the Evaluation Table within the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template (1-3 slides)

My PICO question
This mnemonic was used to generate my PICOT question. In geriatric hospitalized patients(P), can handwashing with soap and water (I), as opposed to hand sanitizers (C),  aid to reduce Hospital Acquired Infection (HAI) occurrences(O) during 3 months? (T)
Attached is my assignment for Module 4 with my references. I work in a medsurg unit so look up that healthcare organization, including its culture and readiness for change.

Would your problem identified in the Week 2 discussion question lend itself to a qualitative or quantitative design? What level of evidence (research design) would best address the problem? Explain your answer.

Would your problem identified in the Week 2 discussion question lend itself to a qualitative or quantitative design? What level of evidence (research design) would best address the problem? Explain your answer.
I need one full page with two references to support the evidence.

Use the scholarly articles that are less than 5 years published to support the evidence and another one  from the book we are using in the class.

(My topic is Interventions to promote social interactions in children with autistic disorder spectrum)

· Each group will formulate research question using PICO format.

P: Children with autistic disorder 

I: Play therapy

C: no therapy, no intervention

O: increase social behaviors

· Each group member will search, retrieve, and receive approval for 1 PRIMARY DATA ARTICLE to answer the group Research Question.

Reply to classmate should be a critique of the structure of the PICOT question. Is it in the correct PICOT format? Is the question specific enough? Is the patient population specific? Is the intervention a nursing intervention? Are there too many outcomes? Does the question make sense? Provide colleagues with suggestion on how to improve the PICOT question. No medical interventions!

1st reply: PICOT Question: 

In dialysis patients with a central line receiving treatment in a hospital, how does implementing alcohol based disinfection compared to no disinfection at all prior to using the central catheters affect the incidence of central line associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) during their hospital stay?

2nd reply: PICOT Question

In patients over the age of 45 years old with atrial fibrillation, how does monitoring and evaluation at home following hospital discharge, compared to clinic visits follow up will affect patients’ hospital readmission within 30 days of hospitalization.

The response needs to include one reference from a professional peer-reviewed scholarly journal.

In this unit, you learned about qualitative research. Qualitative studies are usually done in natural settings and use words to describe experiences and observations.

Please complete the following steps for your discussion post:

Describe a problem that needs to be addressed in your clinical setting.
Develop a qualitative research question that seeks to address this problem.
Discuss how your question will lead to research to identify the preferred way to address the problem.

In chapter 4, the text mentioned the crime of computer forgery.  Here is a case regarding computer forgery and how digital forensics was able to prove the underlying file was indeed forged.  https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2019/01/17/telltale-font-scuppers-bankruptcy-trust-claim/

Basically, the document claimed to be created (and a printed copy signed and dated as proof, at a time before the fonts used in the document were available.

For this discussion, write 200-250 words on your opinion of this case.  Can you think of other digital artifacts that could be used to prove that a computer file is not what it claims to be?
