Design for Change Capstone Project Milestone 1

Review the feedback you received from your instructor for Milestone 1, and use it to develop this milestone.
Create a proposal for your Design for Change Capstone Project. Open the recommended assignment specific Milestone 2 Design Proposal Template (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. Use this to write your paper. You will include the information from Milestone 1, your practice issue and evidence summary worksheets, as you compose this proposal. Your plan is to convince your management team of a practice problem you have uncovered that is significant enough to change current practice.
The format for this proposal will be a paper following the Publication manual of APA 6 th edition.
The paper is to be four- to six-pages excluding the Title page and Reference page.
As you organize your information and evidence, include the following topics.
Introduction: Write an introduction but do not use “Introduction” as a heading in accordance with the rules put forth in the Publication manual of the American Psychological Association (2010, p. 63). Introduce the reader to the plan with evidence-based problem identification and solution.
Change Model Overview: Overview of the ACE Star model (the model we have been discussing this session); define the scope of the EBP; identify the stakeholders, and determine the responsibility of the team members.
Evidence: Conduct internal and external searches of evidence; integrate and summarize the evidence summary worksheet from Milestone 1; develop a recommendation for change.
Translation: develop a hypothetical action plan; include measurable outcomes, reporting to stakeholders; identify next steps and disseminate the findings.
Conclusion: Provide a clear and concise summary, inclusive of the problem issue, the five points of the ACE Star change model; and ways to maintain the change plan.
Citations and References must be included to support the information within each topic area. Refer to the APA manual, Chapter 7, for examples of proper reference format. In-text citations are to be noted for all information contained in your paper that is not your original idea or thought. Ask yourself, “How do I know this?” and then cite the source. Scholarly sources are expected, which means using peer-reviewed journals and credible websites.
Tables and Figures may be added as appropriate to the project. They should be embedded within the body of the paper (see your APA manual for how to format and cite). Creating tables and figures offers visual aids to the reader and enhances understanding of your literature review and design for change.
Submit your paper by 11:59 p.m. MT by Sunday of the end of Week 4.

Practice Issue Worksheet

List the topic and include the citation for the systematic review you have selected from our approved list (optional: an additional scholarly source of support):

Support for healthy Breastfeeding mothers with healthy term babies.

McFadden, A., Gavine, A., Renfrew, M. J., Wade, A., Buchanan, P., Taylor, J. L., … MacGillivray, S. (2017). Support for healthy breastfeeding mothers with healthy term babies. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Issue 2. Art. No.: CD001141. doi:10.1002/14651858.CD001141.pub5

What is the nursing practice issue you have identified related to the topic you have chosen?

The nursing practice issue identified is the unavailability of resources that can facilitate the teaching of feeding cues to the mothers and expecting mothers in order to provide the best breastfeeding practices.

Fully describe the scope of the practice issue:

The benefits of breastfeeding for both mother and child is widely accepted across the medical field. The world health organization has made a recommendation that infants should be breastfed until six months exclusively, and even continue for up to two years exclusively as the main part of infant diet. The current level of breastfeeding in most of the countries does not indicate that recommendation. Knowing this, instead of offering brief lactation classes on postpartum units, interactive and in-depth lactation support should be available to all expecting mothers and new mothers.

___ Procedure or process is a time waster

___ Clinical practice issue has no scientific base

__ Other:

Describe the rationale for your checked selections:

For this practice issue, I selected significant financial concerns as a reason to why lactation courses are not as prioritized as they should. Providing the resources needed in order to facilitate an interactive in depth course may illuminate a financial concern.

What evidence must be gathered? (check all that apply)

___ Literature search
