# 2 Design for Change Proposal Paper (Promoting
Breastfeeding)
FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT
www.nr451rank.com
Create a proposal for your Design for Change Capstone Project.
You will include the information from Milestone 1, your practice
issue and evidence summary worksheets, as you compose this
proposal. Your plan is to convince your management team of a

11. practice problem you have uncovered that is significant enough to
change current practice.
The format for this proposal will be a paper following the
Publication manual of APA 6th
The paper is to be four- to six-pages excluding the Title page and
Reference page.
As you organize your information and evidence, include the
following topics.
Introduction: Write an introduction but do not use “Introduction”
as a heading in accordance with the rules put forth in the
Publication manual of the American Psychological Association
(2010, p. 63). Introduce the reader to the plan with evidence-based
problem identification and solution.
Change Model Overview: Overview of ACE Star model; define the
scope of the EBP; identify the stakeholders, and determine the
responsibility of the team members.
Evidence: Conduct internal and external searches of evidence;
integrate and summarize the evidence summary worksheet from
Milestone 1; develop a recommendation for change.
Translation: develop a hypothetical action plan; include measurable
outcomes, reporting to stakeholders; identify next steps and
disseminate the findings.
Conclusion: Provide a clear and concise summary, inclusive of the
problem issue, the five points of the ACE Star change model; and
ways to maintain the change plan.
Citations and References must be included to support the
information within each topic area. Refer to the APA manual,
Chapter 7, for examples of proper reference format. In-text citations

12. required. Ask yourself, “How do I know this?” and then cite the

credible websites.
Tables and Figures may be added as appropriate to the project.
They should be embedded within the body of the paper (see your
APA manual for how to format and cite). Creating tables and
figures offers visual aids to the reader and enhances understanding
of your literature review and design for change.
