NUR-590 Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal: Implementation Plan Implementation Plan

Alcohol use disorder is one of the health problems that nurses face in their practice. Patients affected by alcohol use disorder have complex needs that the care team should prioritize for the health and wellbeing of the patients. Evidence-based interventions can be utilized in ensuring that the health needs of patients affected by alcohol use disorder are met. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to explore the implementation plan that will be used in the project.

Setting and Access to Potential Subjects

The setting for the proposed project will be the psychiatric unit in a tertiary hospital. The psychiatric unit addresses the care needs of different patients suffering from mental health problems that include alcohol use disorder. The potential subjects for the project will comprise mainly of patients diagnosed with alcohol use disorder. The patients should be undergoing treatment in the unit for the disorder. The participation o

f the subjects will be voluntary. As a result, informed consent will be obtained from them prior to their initiation in the project (Schmidt & Brown, 2021). Approval to undertake the project will also be sought from the institution.

Timeline

The proposed timeline for the project is 12 months. It is expected that the timeline will be adequate to enable the undertaking of the entire project activities. The draft for timeline as well as the different activities that will be undertaken is included in the Appendix section.

Budget and Resources

The project will require adequate supply of resources for its implementation. Human, financial and material resources will be needed for the project. Human resources will comprise of healthcare providers that will educate the selected participants about the use of behavioral interventions in minimizing withdrawal symptoms and symptoms of alcohol use disorder. The healthcare providers will also be involved in care coordination to ensure that the optimum outcomes of care for the subjects are met. The other human resource is trainers for trainees. Trainers will be hired to educate the staffs on the use of behavioral interventions and care coordination in the management of alcohol use disorder. The project will also require financial resources. Money will be needed for use in the purchase of the needed resources as well as remuneration of the healthcare providers who will be involved in the implementation of the project (Wensing et al., 2020). Material resources will also be needed for the successful implementation of the project. The materials needed will include reading materials, booklets for patients, and projectors for the training. The successful implementation of the project will require a budget of $68,000. The budget will be used for purchasing and undertaking the different activities of the project. They will include needs analysis, data collection, analysis, and presentation, remuneration for staffs and trainers, purchase of materials, and follow up of patients. The budget for the project is attached in the appendix section.

Clinical Processes or Tools

There will be a need for a change in clinical processes for the successful implementation of the project. Healthcare providers will be required to incorporate behavioral strategies into the interventions that they will utilize in caring patients with alcohol use disorder. They will have to educate the patients about the behavioral interventions and ways of sustaining their use in minimizing withdrawal symptoms and improving treatment outcomes. Through it, sustained change will be achieved in the organization.

Design

The project will utilize quantitative design. The project will aim at determining the effect of the intervention on observed clinical
