NUR 830 - DNP Project & Nursing Scholarship I

This course is the first in a four part series of courses culminating in completion of an applied evidence based practice (EBP) project that results in a systems change. In this course, the student/student team will initiate collaboration with a healthcare organization or health related entity to identify a clinical practice problem through investigation of internal organizational data and documentation of a needs assessment. Students will develop a PICO question, create a problem statement, define the significance of the problem, and identify key project stakeholders. Students will complete a review of the literature from the current body of knowledge relevant to their project topic, formulate recommendations for change considering the clinical context, and organize a project implementation and outcomes measurement plan. Threaded within this course are principles of health informatics, systems thinking, funding sources, and theoretical frameworks that guide decisions and contribute to the application of innovation in healthcare organizations.
