Project Translation and Planning
Identify the solution that you determined would be most effective in resolving the stated problem and define the intended outcomes of implementing the change (e.g., your improvement goal). For quality to improve, a change must occur. That change must be quantifiable. In other words, it must be measurable.
Create an implementation plan in which you:
Explain how you will measure the change and how you will know when you have reached your improvement goal.
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.
Determine who will be responsible for each outcome (typically each is assigned to a team member who is motivated to see the successful implementation of the plan).
Determine the actions needed to take place for each outcome to occur. Questions to consider when determining what action needs to take place:
Who do we need to talk to?
Departments
Stakeholders
What needs to be decided?
What resources are needed?
Budget
Personnel
Supplies and equipment
What milestones need to be set to know we’re on track?
When do we need to check on the progress of those milestones?
Develop an overall time frame for the project.
What potential setbacks do we need to plan for?
Develop a risk management plan.
Do any tasks need to be done before taking this action?
Establish a budget, roles, and who will be responsible for what.
Determine how you will monitor progress. This will provide you with the means of tracking actions as they are completed and will make you aware of actions that are late or off track.
Select an EBP model to guide the implementation of the plan.
Remember that without a measure, progress becomes a matter of opinion, and opinions can easily change over the course of an implementation timeline.
Herzberg’s two-factor theory
Herzberg’s two-factor theory speaks to issues relevant in both employee compensation and benefits, as it discusses why people choose a workplace as well as what keeps employees satisfied and committed to their work. For more information on Herzberg’s two-factor theory, see the related readings from this week.
Imagine that you are an HR manager in a cutting-edge health organization, then answer the following questions:
• Who are you trying to recruit to work for you (i.e., who is your audience)?
• What sort of compensation and benefits package do you need to provide?
• What would you include from Herzberg’s two-factor theory to ensure you would recruit the best candidates for the position?
• What type of wording would you use? What makes your workplace more appealing? Give an example.

Cervical cancer
READ- Cervical cancer is a condition women should be screened for at least every three years from the ages of 21 to 65. PAP smears HPV test are the first line on diagnostic screening. If those come back abnormal a colposcopy and biopsy can be done to examine the cervical cells. Imagining diagnostic tools are ultrasound, MRI and CT. These help to detect a tumor, size and location.
The sensitivity of PAP smears is 80-90% in the United States (Zhang). For imaging the ultrasound and MRI have a sensitivity of 75%, specificity is 90% for ultrasound and 55.6% for MRI. The reliability of the ultrasound is 87.5% while the MRI is only 59% (Yang).
As an APRN I would utilize HPV tests for my younger patients and PAP smears for all females’ patients ages 21 to 65. For diagnostic imagining I would utilize an ultrasound. It is more reliable for diagnosis, non-invasive and more economical for the patient.

A paradigm shift in healthcare has revolutionized care provision in the 21st century
A paradigm shift in healthcare has revolutionized care provision in the 21st century. The paradigm shift has shifted healthcare control from hospitals and healthcare providers into the patient’s hands. Healthcare delivery has moved from healthcare settings into patients’ devices and homes to promote patient-centered care. The paradigm shift to patient-centered care has changed the dynamics of the patient-healthcare provider relationship by enabling patients to play a bigger role in improving their health outcomes (Bokhour et al., 2018). The shift to patient-centered care means that nurses should work more closely with patients outside the clinical settings to improve healthcare access, quality, education, transparency, and convenience to improve their health outcomes.
The paradigm shift affects health and behavior. Patients are actively participating in promoting and maintaining their health. They engage in healthy behaviors and lifestyles that improve their health and quality of life. Health has become a behavioral phenomenon impacted by the patient’s social and environmental conditions. CDC supports the assertion by stating that social determinants of health account for over 80 % of a patient’s health outcomes. Social determinants of health include economic health and stability, education access and quality, access to affordable, quality health services, basic amenities, housing, and the environment, and social and community aspects. Cheon et al. (2014) study demonstrates that the link between health and behavior affects the social determinants of health. It shows that mental health, diet, lifestyle, and physical exercise determine the number of days that a patient stays at a healthcare facility. It demonstrates the positive relationship between a patient’s health behaviors and their general health status. Intentional and unintentional health behaviors can advance or detract an individual’s health. Behaviors like smoking, drug abuse, physical exercises, sleep, sexual activities, health-seeking behaviors, or adhering to prescribed medications can improve or detract an individual’s health.
Health and behaviors depend on the existing social determinants of health. For instance, socioeconomic factors impact health-related behaviors and health. People living in poor neighborhoods with high concentrations of convenience stores are likelier to use tobacco (Braveman & Gottlieb, 2014). They also lack recreational facilities, lack fresh produce, and are more exposed to many fast-food outlets. These factors contribute to low physical activity and poor nutrition, leading to chronic diseases like obesity in such neighborhoods.
Hence, nurses should provide accessible, quality education to promote patients’ health-related behaviors and health outcomes. The intervention is crucial in advancing patient-centered healthcare delivery. The approach focuses on prevention by enhancing access to information to promote healthy behaviors.
