Nursing shortage and the need for more nurses
NUR 400 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
In Milestone Two, you will review the literature to determine what information is available in the evidence-based literature on the topic for the executive summary. Whenever providing an informative presentation to a healthcare executive, it is vital that there be inclusion of evidence-based sources. This is a foundation for the rest of the paper. In this section, you must include at least three evidence-based sources. Please cite and reference using correct APA format. When writing the literature review, you may use the headings below to help organize this brief paper. All faculty feedback on the milestones is to be incorporated into the final executive summary assignment. Prompt: In your milestone, make sure to address the following topics:
1. Proposal Care Support: Summarize the research from evidence-based studies and peer-reviewed sources that led you to believe that your proposal would improve quality delivery of care within your organization.
2. Value-Based Support: Summarize the research from evidence-based studies and peer-reviewed sources that led you to believe that your proposal would improve value-based reimbursement for your organization.
3. Data Evidence: Detail the data from the organization or that you collected yourself that indicated the need for improvement and explain how you drew your conclusions. Note: This data should include, but not be limited to, tracer data, performance improvement data, benchmarks, and so on.
4. Strategies: Detail existing interprofessional strategies that could be applied to your initiative and organization. 5. Strategy Defense: Defend your recommended strategies in terms of their ability to improve nursing-sensitive quality indicators based on relevant,
reliable research. 6. Change Theory: Analyze relevant theories of change that informed your proposed initiative and could help with implementation. 7. Change Assessment: How applicable are change theories to promoting your intended initiative and to the type and structure of your healthcare
organization?
Rubric Guidelines for Submission: This paper should be 3–5 pages, not including the cover page or reference page. APA format is to be used for the reference list and all internal citations (at least three evidence-based sources are required).
