Implementation of better skin care to prevent CLABSI
Problem Statement
Insert Identifying a Problem assignment here and include your PICO question in this section as well. You dont need to list out the elements for the PICO question In critically ill patients with central venous lines (P), does the implementation of better skin care such as chlorhexidine daily baths (I) compare to regular soup and water baths help to prevent central line associated ingections (CLABSI) (O)? The PICO question fits well at the end of the problem statement. You could say Therefore the clinical question of interest is ..
Incorporating Theory (optional)
You can include this if you like but its not required Florence Nightingale environmemtal theory
Implementation
Consider the population in which the solution is intended, the staff that will participate, and the key contributors that must provide approval and/or support for your project to be implemented. These stakeholders are considered your audience.
Develop an implementation plan (1,500-2,000 words) using the “Topic 3: Checklist” resource. The elements that should be included in your plan are listed below:
1.Method of obtaining necessary approval(s) and securing support from your organization’s leadership and fellow staff.
2.Description of current problem, issue, or deficit requiring a change. Hint: If you are proposing a change in current policy, process, or procedure(s) when delivering patient care, describe first the current policy, process, or procedure as a baseline for comparison.
3.Detailed explanation of proposed solution (new policy, process, procedure, or education to address the problem/deficit).
4.Rationale for selecting proposed solution.
5.Evidence from your Review of Literature in Topic 2 to support your proposed solution and reason for change.
6.Description of implementation logistics (When and how will the change be integrated into the current organizational structure, culture, and workflow? Who will be responsible for initiating the change, educating staff, and overseeing the implementation process?)
7.Resources required for implementation: staff; educational materials (pamphlets, handouts, posters, and PowerPoint presentations); assessment tools (questionnaires, surveys, pre- and post-tests to assess knowledge of participants at baseline and after intervention); technology (technology or software needs); funds (cost of educating staff, printing or producing educational materials, gathering and analyzing data before, during, and following implementation), and staff to initiate, oversee, and evaluate change.

Evaluation
Using 800-1,000 words, discuss methods to evaluate the effectiveness of your proposed solution and variables to be assessed when evaluating project outcomes.
Example: If you are proposing a new staffing matrix that is intended to reduce nurse turnover, improve nursing staff satisfaction, and positively impact overall delivery of care, you may decide the following methods and variables are necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of your proposed solution:
Methods:
1.Survey of staff attitudes and contributors to job satisfaction and dissatisfaction before and after initiating change.
2.Obtain turnover rates before and after initiating change.
3.Compare patient discharge surveys before change and after initiation of change.
Variables:
1.Staff attitudes and perceptions.
2.Patient attitudes and perceptions.
3.Rate of nursing staff turnover.
Develop the tools necessary to educate project participants and to evaluate project outcomes (surveys, questionnaires, teaching materials, PowerPoint slides, etc.).
Dissemination
Using 250-500 words, summarize your strategy for disseminating the results of the project to key stakeholders and to the greater nursing community.
