?quality Improvement Opportunity Initiative on Evidence Based Practice Paper Identify a quality improvement opportunity in your organization or practice. In a 1,250-1,500 word paper, describe the problem or issue and propose a quality improvement initiative based on evidence-based practice. Apply “The Road to Evidence-Based Practice” process, illustrated in Chapter 4 of your textbook, to create your proposal.

Include the following:

Provide an overview the problem and the setting in which the problem or issue occurs.
Explain why a quality improvement initiative is needed in this area and the expected outcome.
Discuss how the results of previous research demonstrate support for the quality improvement initiative and its projected outcomes. Include a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources published within the last 5 years, not included in the course materials or textbook, that establish evidence in support of the quality improvement proposed.
Discuss steps necessary to implement the quality improvement initiative. Provide evidence and rationale to support your answer.
Explain how the quality improvement initiative will be evaluated to determine whether there was improvement.
Support your explanation by identifying the variables, hypothesis test, and statistical test that you would need to prove that the quality improvement initiative succeeded.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. Chrome

Introduction
Health care professionals must have knowledge regarding
research methods and statistical analysis. Statistical analysis is
associated with evidence-based practices and is responsible
for many of the new and innovative treatments and procedures
performed by health care professionals every day; however,
knowing about evidence-based practices and using them is not
enough. One must know how the results were obtained and if
the results are statistically sound (see Figure 4.1). Health care
professionals are concerned with quality and providing those in
their care with safe, patient-centered care.

Introduction
Using the results of research involves incorporating those
results into care provided to patients. Using new drugs,
treatments, or procedures is for the sake of quality patient care.
A very simple way to look at it is to consider the three Rs that
make up evidence-based practice — Research, Results, and
Review. The research is completed, the results are obtained,
and then experts review the results of the study. If the review is
found to be positive, the drug, treatment, or procedure can now
considered evidence-based and can be put into practice (see
Figures 4.1 and 4.2).
