EBP Change Project

A key component to determine if an EBP change project is successful is by measuring the EBP change project outcome. According Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt (2015) it is important to be able to monitor outcomes in an EBP change project to determine the significance that it could potentially have on healthcare quality and patient outcomes.

    CLOSING STATEMENT: Overall, the United States is becoming increasingly culturally diverse and will continue in this direction in the future. People of diverse racial, ethnic, and cultural heritage suffer disproportionately from cardiovascular disease, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and every form of cancer (Sutton, 2000).

    Evidence-Based Questions 1.Who can I seek out to assist me in enhancing my evidence-based practice (EBP) knowledge and skills and serve as my EBP mentor? Mentorship in evidence-based practice should be bidirectional. The process requires a nurse to seek mentorship from various sources, given that there is nobody who can have entire knowledge about a given subject in nursing. Consequently, I believe that I need to seek assistance from the nurses who have experience in the facility I am working in while also referring to the existing information from scholarly work, including scholarly journals, especially those from the recent studies conducted in the specific field of my interest at a given time. In this case, I should use PICOT, search for…

    Expansion of Medicare could help those who are in extreme poverty seek and receive the care they need. Substitutes for practitioners working in underserved communities could give incentive for physicians to help the uninsured get affordable care. These are just a few ideas that may help provide insurance, or at least affordable care, to African Americans in poverty. Education may be the single most important, and one of the easiest ways to help African Americans in poverty end these health disparities.

The health disparities associated with these diseases are a compelling reason for addressing this problem.

    According to Ayanian, racial health disparities are connected with significant annual economic losses nationwide, including an estimated $35 billion in excess health care expenditures, $10 billion in illness-related lost productivity, and nearly $200 billion in premature deaths. To impulse the whole health care system toward refining quality while enclosing costs you must reduce racial disparities in health care, which is called value-based care (Ayanian, 2015). Reducing racial health disparities can and will save more money per person yearly in medical expenses. Better incorporation of policies and partnerships will narrow the racial break in life anticipation and boost the economic cost that comes with improved health/long life (Ayanian,…
