Evaluation in Programs

 As a leader in the field, it is essential to learn from the successes and challenges that others have encountered. Particularly with the design and evaluation of programs, many expensive and difficult lessons have already been discovered through previous endeavors.
 

For this Discussion, you review the literature and analyze a program’s evaluation plan. As you do this, consider what can be surmised from this example and the others shared by your colleagues to guide the development of your program’s evaluation plan.
 

To prepare:

• Search the literature and select an      article of interest that includes a program evaluation (select one of the two articles in the      attached file section).
• Consider the following:
  • Was the evaluation plan appropriate       to the design of the program?
  • Identify the goals and objectives of       the evaluation plan.
  • What were the activities related to       this evaluation?
  • Based upon the data, how valid are       the outcomes?

By tomorrow Monday 1/28/19 at 6 pm, write a minimum of 550 words essay in APA format with a minimum of 3 scholarly references that include the level 1 and 2 headers below: 

Post a cohesive scholarly response that addresses the following:

1) Assess the appropriateness of the evaluation plan and share other information or insights as it relates to the evaluation approach (select one of the two articles in the attached file section).

• Was the evaluation plan appropriate       to the design of the program?
• Identify the goals and objectives of       the evaluation plan.
• What were the activities related to       this evaluation?
• Based upon the data, how valid are       the outcomes?

2) Include a full citation of your selected article.

Evaluation of an Evidence-Based Project 

 

Think about the details expressed in your DNP Project Proposal, which was submitted during NURS 8410. In that document, you described your plan for evaluating your DNP Project. Which evaluation method(s) did you select for your project? What new insights associated with the evaluation of your DNP Project have you gained since you developed your DNP Project Proposal?

For this Discussion, you examine your identified evaluation methods and consider how appropriate they now seem for your DNP Project. As you do this, think about principles of evidence-based practice and appropriate theoretical frameworks that relate to this assessment of your evaluation plan. If there are circumstances that prevent you from assessing your DNP Project evaluation plan, you may complete this Discussion using a different evidence-based project.

To prepare:

• Review      the examples of evaluation presented in the Miake-Lye et al. and McNabney      et al. articles listed in the Learning Resources. Also, consider the      evaluation strategies suggested by Dr. Mauk in the Weeks 4 and 5 media      presentation.
• Analyze      the evaluation plan you developed as part of your DNP Project Proposal.      Which evaluation method(s) did you identify for your project?
• If      you have already concluded the evaluation phase of your DNP Project, what      would you do differently—specific to the evaluation plan—if you could?
• If      possible, compare your project with similar evidence-based projects      presented in other articles from your review of the literature.      Specifically, look at others who had a similar research question or      intervention but evaluated it differently. Consider similarities and      differences in outcomes of these projects. What insights related to your      project does this analysis provide?
• For      this Discussion, you may also consider the evaluation of other      evidence-based projects implemented in your practicum setting. Discuss      this topic with individuals in your practicum setting to strengthen your      understanding of the evaluation of these projects.

By tomorrow Wednesday 6/19, write a minimum of 550 words essay in APA format and at least three scholarly references (see list of required readings below) that includes the level one headers as numbered below:

Post a cohesive response that addresses the following:

1) Describe the strengths and limitations of the evaluation plan for your DNP Project or another evidence-based project. 

2) Share insights and opportunities for improvement that can inform future evidence-based projects.

Evaluation of Outcomes

As you translate evidence into practice, it is essential to consider how you will evaluate the outcomes. As introduced in Week 8, you are likely to encounter barriers as you integrate research findings into practice. Using a framework for evaluation can assist in minimizing those barriers.

As a nurse engaged in advanced practice, it is now time to take your practicum project to the next level—evaluating the outcomes you identified for the Week 9 Discussion and then developing new practice guidelines.

To prepare:

• The course text, Translation of Evidence into      Nursing and Health Care Practice, provides a list of questions that should      be considered when planning for evaluation. See page 239 for this list of      questions.
• Review the Learning Resources focusing on the      various evaluation frameworks presented. Select a framework and determine      how you would evaluate the outcomes you identified in the Week 9      Discussion (see week 9 discussion in the file area).
• Based on the possible results of your      evaluation, envision new practice guidelines you would develop.
• What new standards of care might this lead to?

By tomorrow Wednesday 10/30/18 at 12 pm, write a minimum of 550 words essays in APA format with at least 3 references from the list of REQUIRED READINGS (see attached files) below. Include the headers as numbered below:

Post a cohesive scholarly response that addresses the following:

1) In the first line of your posting, state the outcomes you are addressing (those you initially identified in the Week 9 Discussion [see week 9 discussion in the file area]).

2) How would you evaluate the outcomes? Support your response with evidence from the literature.

3) What new practice guidelines would you create based on your evaluation of those outcomes?

4) Discuss any new standards of care that would be appropriate based on the new practice guidelines.
