Improve health and healthcare outcomes engagementsImprove health and healthcare
outcomes engagementsThe process for affecting positive change to improve practice
outcomes can start with either the identification of an area of interest or the identification
of a potential or existing practice problem. Selecting an area of interest helps to define a
direction for further inquiry. The purpose of this assessment is for students to identify and
discuss an area of interest specific to advanced practice nursing. Students will identify a
common practice problem related to the selected area of interest and provide a
recommendation to affect positive change. Students will build on this project in later
courses.Note: The purpose of the MSN project is to translate evidence currently found in the
literature into practice within the chosen specialty track. Due to the research complexity,
time involvement, and implications regarding human subjects, drug studies are not
acceptable areas of interest for an MSN project.Requirements:Criteria for ContentFor this
presentation, select an area of nurse practitioner (NP) practice that is of interest to you and
in which you would like to see a practice change occur. Conduct a review of literature to see
what is currently known about the topic and to find research for the practice change you
are recommending. ?You may use a topic from the list at the link below or may investigate a
topic of your choice as long as it pertains to NP practice. If you are unsure of your topic,
please reach out to your instructor. Be sure to provide speaker’s notes for all slides except
the title and reference slides.Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the
ability to:Examine roles and competencies of advanced practice nurses essential to

Possible TopicsNote: The purpose of the MSN project proposal is to translate evidence
currently found in the literature into practice within the chosen specialty track. Due to the
research complexity, time involvement, and implications regarding human subjects, drug
studies are not acceptable areas of interest for a MSN project.FNP· Best evidence available
about a topic (i.e. frequency of mammography)· Screening recommendations (i.e. PSA for
prostate cancer)· Information about a healthcare-related phenomenon (i.e. when to talk to a
person about ending treatment for a terminal illness, non-compliance of diet for individuals
with congestive heart failure)· Vaccinations for adults and/or children· Early assessment for
health-related concerns (i.e. depression in teenagers; suicide prevention for the elderly)·
2. Life style changes (i.e. smoking cessation, increasing activity in teenagers)· Relationship
between events or health concerns (i.e. relationship between dementia and caffeine
consumption.· Selection on an intervention (i.e. use of small group theory to lessen anxiety)
Improve health and healthcare outcomes engagements· Symptom management (i.e. pain,
vomiting)Create an 8-12 slide PowerPoint Presentation that includes the
following:Introduction: slide should identify concepts to be addressed and sections of the
presentation. Include speaker’s notes that explain, in more detail, what will be
covered.Evidence-based projects: slide should explain the general importance of master’s-
prepared nurses engaging in evidence-based projects related to nursing practice and
profession. Provide speaker’s notes with additional detail and from at least one outside
scholarly source (not the textbook or course lesson).Conceptual Model: slide should provide
an illustration of a conceptual model that could be used to develop an evidence-based
project. Possible models include The John’s Hopkins or Advancing Research and Clinical
Practice through Close Collaboration (ARCC) Models or you may select another model you
find in the literature. In the speaker’s notes, explain how the model would be applied to the
development of an evidence-based project. Provide from at least one outside scholarly
source (not the textbook or course lesson).Area of Interest: identify an area of interest
related to NP practice in which a practice change may be needed. Slide should identify the
area of interest and what is currently known on the topic. Speaker’s notes more fully
explain what is currently known and should provide rationale for why the area of interest is
important to NP practice. Provide from at least one outside scholarly source (not the
textbook or course lesson).Issue/concern and recommendation for change: slide should
identify a specific concern related to your general area of interest and your
recommendation for a practice change. Speaker’s notes should more fully explain the
recommended change and rationale for the change. Recommendation should be ed by at
least one outside scholarly source (not the textbook or course lesson).Factors Influencing
Change: slide should identify at least 2 internal and external factors that could impact your
ability to implement your recommended change. Speaker’s notes should more fully explain
how the factors you’ve identified would or impede the implementation of your
recommendations. Factors may be based on personal experience or on information you
found in your research. If the identified factors come from the literature, provide reference
citations to your ideas.NONPF Competencies: slide identifies at least two NONPF
Competencies that are relevant to an evidence-based project related to your area of interest.
Speaker’s notes should explain how the competencies relate to your area of interest.
Provide from at least one outside scholarly source (not the textbook or course
lesson).Conclusion: slide provides summary points of presentation. Speaker’s notes provide
final comments on the topic.Preparing the presentationSubmission
