1. The document discusses completing an organizational culture and readiness assessment survey to evaluate a healthcare organization's readiness for implementing evidence-based practice. 2. It involves analyzing the survey results to assess the organization's readiness level, potential barriers and facilitators to projects, and how to strengthen weaker areas and integrate clinical inquiry. 3. The analysis and recommendations are to be included in Section A of an evidence-based practice proposal that will go through revisions based on instructor feedback.

Readiness AssessmentEvidence-Based Practice Proposal – Section A: Organizational Culture
and Readiness AssessmentBefore making a case for an evidence-based project, it is essential
to understand the culture of the organization in order to begin assessing its readiness for
EBP implementation. Discussion: Organizational Culture and Readiness
Assessment1.Complete the “Organizational Culture and Readiness for System-Wide
Integration of Evidence-Based Practice Survey,” located in the textbook appendix.2.Develop
an analysis of 250 words from the results, addressing your organization’s readiness level,
possible project barriers and facilitators, as well as how to integrate clinical inquiry.3.Make
sure to include the rationale for the survey categories scores that were significantly high
and low, incorporating details and/or examples. Also explain how to integrate clinical
inquiry into the organization, providing strategies that strengthen the organizations weaker
areas.4.Submit a summary of your results. The actual survey results do not need to be
included.Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style
Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.Upon receiving
feedback from the instructor, revise “Section A: Organizational Culture and Readiness
Assessment” for your final paper submission. This will be a continuous process throughout
the course for each section.Evidence-Based Practice Proposal – Section B: Problem
DescriptionWrite a paper of 500-750 words (not including the title page and reference
page) on your proposed problem description for your EBP project. The paper should
address the following:1.Describe the background of the problem. Tell the story of the issue
and why it deserves attention.2.Identify the stakeholders/change agents. Who, or what
organizations, are concerned, may benefit from, or are affected by this proposal. List the
interested parties, patients, students, agencies, Joint Commission, etc.3.Use the feedback
from the Topic 2 main forum post and refine your PICOT question. Make sure that the
question fits with your graduate degree specialization.4.State the purpose and project
objectives in specific, realistic, and measurable terms. The objective should address what is
to be gained. This is a restatement of the question, providing focus. Measurements need to
be taken before and after the evidence-based practice is introduced to identify the expected
changes.5.5) Provide supportive rationale that the problem or issue is an important one for
nursing to resolve using relevant professional literature sources.6.Develop an initial
reference list to assure that there is adequate literature to support your evidence-based

2. practice project. Follow the “Steps to an Efficient Search to Answer a Clinical Question” box
in chapter 3 of the textbook. Use “NUR-699 Search Method Example” to assist you.7.7) The
majority of references should be research articles. However, national sources such as
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Health Statistics
(NCHS), Department of Health and Human Resources (HHS), or the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality (AHRQ) and others may be used when you are gathering statistics to
provide the rationale for the problem.8.Once you get into the literature, you may find there
is very little research to support your topic and you will have to start all over again.
Remember, in order for this to be an evidence-based project, you must have enough
evidence to introduce this as a practice change. If you find that you do not have enough
supporting evidence to change a practice, then further research would need to be
conducted.Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style

the culture of the organization in its readiness for EBP implementation.· Develop PICOT
question.· Build EBP knowledge and skills. Notes:Topic 2Checkpoint 1
· Define project purpose.· Who are the stakeholders for your
project?· Identify active (on the implementation team) and supportive (not on the
team, but essential to success) roles.· Identify project team roles and
leadership.· Begin acquisition of any necessary approvals for project implementation
and dissemination (e.g., system leadership, unit leadership, ethics board [IRB]). Discussion:

evidence with stakeholder influence to inform evidence-based
recommendations.· Hone PICOT question. Notes:Topic 3Checkpoint 2
· Conduct literature search and retain studies that meet criteria for
inclusion.· Connect with librarian.· Critically appraise literature.· Summarize
evidence with focus on implications for practice. Notes:Topic 4Checkpoint 3
· Begin formulating a detailed plan for implementation of
evidence.· Include who must know about the project, when they will know, how they
will know.· Connect the evidence and the project.· Identify and address known
barriers and facilitators of project.· Define post-project outcome indicators of a
successful project. Notes:Topic 5Checkpoint 4 · Define baseline data collection
source(s) (e.g., existing data set, electronic health record), methods, and
measures.· Identify resources (human, fiscal, and other) necessary to complete
project.· Gather outcome measures.· Write data collection protocol.· Write the
project protocol (data collection fits in this document).· Finalize any necessary
approvals for project implementation and dissemination (e.g., system leadership, unit
leadership, IRB). Notes:Topic 6Checkpoint 5 · Finalize protocol for
implementation of evidence.· Complete final data collection for project
evaluation.· Include specific plan for how the evaluation will take place: who, what,
when, where and how, and communication mechanisms to stakeholders. Notes:Topic
