Develop a 4-6 page holistic intervention plan design to improve the quality of outcomes for your target population and setting.

Your application of the PICOT approach to developing your problem statement and the research that you conducted and synthesized in your literature review are the foundation and framework that you will need to successfully build your intervention plan. This plan will lay out specific components of the intervention you are planning to address the need you have identified for the target population and setting. You will justify your approach to the intervention plan by integrating appropriate theoretical foundations. You will also analyze and address the needs of stakeholders, requirements of regulatory bodies, and ethical and legal considerations. It is important to have a sound intervention plan design in place before trying to work on the details of implementation and evaluation.

• As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.
  • What theoretical nursing models, strategies from other disciplines, and health care technologies could help support or justify your approach to the intervention plan?
  • What evidence from the literature or best practice supports the intervention plan components you identified?
  • What, if any, potential is there for technology to help in the development or implementation of the intervention plan components?
  • What is the impact of stakeholders, health care policy, or regulations?
  • Are there any ethical or legal considerations related to the development or implementation of the intervention plan components that need to be kept in mind? If so, what are they?

INSTRUCTION

You intervention plan design will be the second section of your final project submission. The goal for this is to design a holistic plan that should be able to improve the quality of outcomes for your target population and setting. Provide enough detail so that the faculty member assessing your intervention plan design will be able to provide substantive feedback that you will be able to incorporate into the other project components in this course, as well as into the final draft of your project.

At minimum, be sure to address the bullet points below, as they correspond to the grading criteria. You may also want to read the scoring guide and Guiding Questions: Intervention Plan Design document (linked above) to better understand how each criterion will be assessed. In addition to the bullet points below, provide a brief introduction that refreshes the reader’s memory about your problem statement and the setting and context for this intervention plan.

Reminder: these instructions are an outline. Your heading for this this section should be Intervention Plan Components and not Part 1: Intervention Plan Components.

Part 1: Intervention Plan Components

• Define the major components of an intervention plan for a health promotion, quality improvement, prevention, education, or management need.
• Explain the impact of cultural needs and characteristics of a target population and setting on the development of intervention plan components.

Part 2: Theoretical Foundations

• Evaluate theoretical nursing models, strategies from other disciplines, and health care technologies relevant to an intervention plan.
• Justify the major components of an intervention by referencing relevant and contemporary evidence from the literature and best practices.

Part 3: Stakeholders, Policy, and Regulations

• Analyze the impact of stakeholder needs, health care policy, regulations, and governing bodies relevant to health care practice and specific components of an intervention plan.

Part 4: Ethical and Legal Implications

• Analyze relevant ethical and legal issues related to health care practice, organizational change, and specific components of an intervention plan.

Address Generally Throughout

• Communicate intervention plan in a professional way that helps the audience to understand the proposed intervention.
