Proposed Evidence-Based Practice Project
Solution
Diane Boll
Grand Canyon University: NUR 590
12-9-2020
Proposed solutions
Diabetes mellitus type 2 is generally considered a lifestyle
condition and this makes it more prevalent among individuals
from lower socioeconomic status. This is because of the many

3. barriers that prevent such individuals from accessing quality
healthcare. Thus, providing improved and better healthcare to
such people can be very crucial in reducing the prevalence of
Diabetes mellitus type 2 (Ong et al., 2018). Achieving this
would require adequately funding the healthcare facilities
especially in areas where people with lower socioeconomic
status live to facilitate preventive care for type 2 diabetes. Also,
ensuring there is an adequate number of healthcare providers
such as nurses and physicians especially in the remote areas
where an individual from low-income communities’ lives is
crucial in reducing the prevalence of type 2 diabetes (Ong et al.,
2018). This will ensure such individuals have access to quality
healthcare concerning diabetes whenever they need it. Health
promotional services that involve encouraging people to
practice good dietary and healthy lifestyles can offer important
solutions in the management of diabetes (Butler, 2017).
Organizational structure
The proposed solutions are consistent with the community
culture of cooperation between different stakeholders to
promote healthcare for all to achieve the objectives of Healthy
People 2020. To effectively reduce the prevalence of type 2
diabetes, strong cooperation between healthcare providers, the
healthcare system, and the community is necessary. This

4. portrays a culture of togetherness towards the achievement of a
society that is free from illnesses including type 2 diabetes.
Expected Outcomes
The availability of food, good housing, access to healthcare,
good education, and improved nutritional practices are some of
the factors that can help reduce the prevalence of diabetes type
2 among people in low-income communities. These factors will
lead to a reduction in healthcare disparities that impact
negatively individuals from such communities. The expected
outcome from ensuring such factors are dealt with includes
equal access to quality healthcare for people from these
communities as far as the issue of diabetes mellitus type 2 is
concerned. Achieving equity in access to healthcare services
will greatly reduce the prevalence of type 2 diabetes and this
would be an important milestone towards the achievement of the
objectives of Healthy People 2020.
Method to achieve the outcomes
In achieving the expected outcome of the project;
a) The nurses will fully participate in the process of
implementation of this practice.

5. b) The physicians and other allied healthcare providers will
support the nursing staff in the process of implementing
evidence-based practice.
c) The nurses will work in partnership with the regional and
national research institutes to implement the evidence-based
practice.
d) The organization will develop an EBP mentoring program
tasked to train and motivate nurses to take responsibility for
implementing the evidence-based practice.
Various barriers might hinder the process of implementing
evidence-based practice which includes;
a) Lack of adequate time to go through the available literature
from the research might lead to the workload on available
nursing staff
b) An inadequate experience by nurses on the evidence-based
practice due to limited training on the same (Duncombe, 2018)
c) Lack of adequate resources for some procedures to be done is
a significant barrier to the implementation of EBP.

6. Outcome Impact
Quality care improvement
The outcomes of the project will have positive impacts on
quality care improvement as it promotes early diagnosis of type
2 diabetes for patients and initiates effective treatment. The
outcomes will also promote preventive care of the disease
through good dietary and healthy lifestyles (Butler, 2017). Also,
having an adequate number of healthcare providers as well as
adequate funding will reduce healthcare access disparities hence
improving the quality of healthcare services provided.
