Work with your Mentor and Team to develop your Translation/ Implementation plan. Use the EBP Project Kickoff Template and the EBP Project Portfolio Step 3 (below) to develop your plan.
If a pilot or change is needed, begin gathering pre-measures -- to show how the change improves outcomes.
Consider what will be involved in the change - workflow? policies? EMR changes?
DOCUMENT YOUR PLAN in the EBP Project Portfolio Step 3
Check in with your EBP Mentor and Manager - let them know where you are in the process, and what questions you have.
Measurement is needed before, during and after implementing changes.
Baseline measurements/data show the status of the practice/process before implementation.
Process measurements/data show how well the implementation process is done. i.e. How many attend training. Are interventions documented consistently? . . .
Outcome measurements/data show results of the practice/process implementation (same measures as baseline).
Baseline/pre-data is collected before the project and compared with outcomes/post-data.
As much as possible, plan to measure all of the following types of outcomes. *There may be multiple items to measure within each type.
Possible measurement strategies include:
