Week 4: Translation Science Project Guidelines

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:

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. Practice problem-High body mass index

·  Evidence Synthesis of Literature to Address Practice Problem (High body mass index)

·  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.

If you need additional information about concept maps and how to create a concept map in Microsoft Word, please access the resources below.
