Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal: Implementation Plan Question one: Setting and Access

The proposed Hospital Acquire Pressure Injuries (HAPI) project shall be implemented in

an acute care hospital setting serving patients with less mobility and prolonged hospital stay.

Stakeholders in this implementation plan are nurse leaders and care providers involved in daily

attendance on the critical target population. Before beginning the project in the hospital,

management approval will be sought, besides informing the essential stakeholders of the needs

and aim of the proposed HAPI project. Also, it is paramount to tell the hospital that the

implementation plan adheres to strict use of ethical principles, such as seeking approval from the

participants before implementation. Staff members will be briefed on the project expectation and

their roles during the execution of the projects. Additionally, patients will be informed of the

possibility of quitting at their own will during the process. Subject for study are patients who

have developed pressure ulcers regardless of the stage of infection; stage one to stage four. The

onset of a pressure ulcer on patients compromises the quality of life causes pain, isolation, and

even death (Chaboyer et al., 2018). Therefore, addressing this issue helps avoid preventable

health conditions and reduce the cost of hospitalization and death.

Question two: Timeline

This proposed project is scheduled to be implemented in six weeks. During the first week

and second week, the team of professionals will convene and be trained on their roles. Nurse

leaders and care providers will form this multidisciplinary team. Patients’ immediate family

members and their caregivers shall also be trained on the roles expected of them in the plan. In

the second week, the implementation team members shall obtain necessary information about the

patients and implement the proposed changes.
