The implementation of an evidence-based practice project

Practicum Experience Week 2 – 3

By tomorrow Saturday June 15, 2019 write a minimum of 550 words essay in APA format with at least three scholarly references. Include the level one header as numbered below:

As your practicum experience proceeds, talk with individuals in your practicum setting about social, political, technological, and/or financial considerations related to the implementation of an evidence-based practice project. For instance, you may opt to meet with a nurse manager or executive involved in financial matters to do a cost-benefit analysis or a return-on-investment analysis, or to develop a pro forma statement about how much it would cost to implement one practice versus another.

Consider these insights as you: 

1) Evaluate the strengths and limitations of the evidence-based project, 

2) Analyze potential barriers to sustaining practice changes.
