In this week’s assignment, you will work through the planning and implementation stages of the project. This will require you to determine goals, resources needed, and to select an evidence-based practice (EBP) model._x000D_
_x000D_
Start with the solution that you determined would be most effective in resolving the stated problem and define the intended outcomes of implementing the change (i.e., what is your improvement goal?). In order for quality to improve, a change must occur. That change must be quantifiable, in other words, it must be measurable._x000D_
_x000D_
Create an implementation plan in which you:_x000D_
Explain how you will measure the change and how you will know when you have reached your improvement goal._x000D_
Create a list of outcomes required to reach your outcomes goal. This will allow you to determine the actions needed and the priority of tasks that will result in the desired outcome._x000D_
Determine who will be responsible for each outcome (typically each is assigned to a team member who is motivated in seeing the successful implementation of the plan)._x000D_

_x000D_
Remember that without a measure, progress becomes a matter of opinion and opinions can easily change over the course of an implementation timeline._x000D_
_x000D_
