In this assignment, students will pull together the capstone project change proposal components they have been working on throughout the course to create a proposal inclusive of sections for each content focus area in the course. For this project, the student will apply evidence-based research steps and processes required as the foundation to address a clinically oriented problem or issue in future practice.
Develop a 2,500-3,000-word written project that includes the following information as it applies to the problem, issue, suggestion, initiative, or educational need profiled in the capstone change proposal:
Background of clinical problem
Clinical problem statement 
Purpose of the change proposal in relation to providing patient care in the changing health care system 
PICOT question
Literature search strategy employed 
Synthesis of literature review 
Applicable change or nursing theory utilized 
Proposed implementation plan with outcome measures 
Plan for evaluating the proposed nursing intervention 
Identification of potential barriers to plan implementation, and a discussion of how these could be overcome ( and any other barriers that have not yet been considered)
