Develop a PICOT question for a chosen clinical problem.
Include a graphic that is relevant to the clinical problem.
Provide a background on the clinical problem identified.
Outline an action plan to implement the evidence-based project that includes:
The recommended practice change.

The tools or resources that will be needed to support the project.
Identify the stakeholders, opportunities for innovation, and potential barriers to the practice change needed for project implementation.
Who are the stakeholders that will be impacted?

Propose outcome criteria to evaluate the evidence-based practice project and how they will be measured.
How will outcomes be measured?
How do your outcomes align with the Quadruple Aim?
How will your outcome measures inform evidence-based practice, guidelines, or policies?
Evaluate the evidence that supports the need for practice change.
In the notes section of your poster presentation:
