Assignment Instructions

  1. Describe area of interest and focus of the evidence-based practice quality improvement project.

  2. Describe the Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Model.

  3. Describe each component of the model.

  4. Restate the clinical/practice question developed in NR520 (Note: clinical/practice question might need to be revised).

  5. Identify how the model will guide, inform, and support the evidence-based practice quality improvement project.

How to Approach This Assignment
1️⃣ Describe Your Area of Interest

Clearly identify:

  • The clinical or practice problem

  • The population affected

  • The setting (acute care, outpatient, community, etc.)

  • Why this issue is significant

Examples:

  • Hospital-acquired pressure injuries

  • Medication non-adherence

  • Sepsis bundle compliance

  • Fall prevention

  • Depression screening compliance

Be specific and measurable.

2️⃣ Describe the Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Model

Explain that the model:

  • Provides a structured framework for translating evidence into practice

  • Emphasizes interprofessional collaboration

  • Focuses on improving patient outcomes

  • Is organized into three phases: PET

3️⃣ Describe Each Component of the Model (PET Process)
🔹 P – Practice Question

  • Identify a clinical problem

  • Develop a PICOT question

  • Define scope and stakeholders

🔹 E – Evidence

  • Conduct literature search

  • Appraise evidence quality and strength

  • Synthesize findings

🔹 T – Translation

  • Develop action plan

  • Implement practice change

  • Evaluate outcomes

  • Sustain change

Explain how each step connects to quality improvement.

4️⃣ Restate Your Clinical/Practice Question

Restate your PICOT question from NR520.

Ensure it includes:

  • P – Population

  • I – Intervention

  • C – Comparison (if applicable)

  • O – Outcome

  • T – Timeframe

Revise if needed to ensure clarity and feasibility.

5️⃣ Explain How the Model Guides Your Project

This is the most important section.

Discuss how the model will:

  • Provide systematic structure

  • Support evidence appraisal

  • Guide stakeholder engagement

  • Inform implementation strategy

  • Assist with outcome evaluation

  • Support sustainability planning

Be specific about how each PET phase applies to your MSN project.

Key Concepts to Focus On

  • Evidence-based practice (EBP)

  • Quality improvement (QI)

  • PICOT framework

  • Translation of evidence into practice

  • Stakeholder engagement

  • Sustainability planning

  • Outcome measurement

  • Project evaluation

Sample Solution

Describe area of interest and focus of the evidence-based practice quality improvement project

With an emphasis on lowering drug administration errors in acute care hospital settings, medication safety is the focus of this evidence-based practice (EBP) quality improvement effort. Patient safety is seriously threatened by medication errors, which can lead to adverse drug …….Click below to access the full sample solution (PDF)
