During your previous Core Courses, you completed assessments that prepared you for many different types of Advanced Professional Nurse leadership roles. For this assessment you will assume one of the most important roles in nursing, which is that of a Nurse Innovator. Innovation in healthcare can take many forms, ranging from enhancing the patient experience to improving the overall health of populations. This may involve new forms of health professional training, patient education, care coordination, financial management, service delivery models or population health improvement initiatives.
While completing your Clinical/Practice Experiences (CPE) for D031 Advancing Evidence-Based Innovation in Nursing Practice, you met with key stakeholders from the Academic or Healthcare setting you selected, to explore innovative ideas for change. During these discussions, you selected one innovative idea that will become the basis for writing your Evidence-Based Innovation Plan for this assessment.
REQUIREMENTS
Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. The originality report that is provided when you submit your task can be used as a guide.
You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.
