Grand Canyon – HLT 490 Topic 3 Assignment

The final capstone project is a culmination of the written research-based assignments completed throughout the course. Each written assignment contributes to the final Evidenced-Based Proposal paper. This is the third written assignment.

Proposal
Describe your proposed solution (100-250 words).

Preparing an Implementation Plan
Develop an implementation plan (1,000-1,500 words). The elements that should be included in your plan are listed below:

1. Method of obtaining necessary approval(s) and securing support from your organization’s leadership and fellow staff.

3. Detailed explanation of proposed solution (new policy, process, procedure, or education to address the problem/deficit).
4. Rationale for selecting proposed solution.
5. Evidence from your review of literature in Topic 2 to support your proposed solution and reason for change.

7. Resources required for implementation: staff; educational materials (pamphlets, handouts, posters, and PowerPoint presentations); assessment tools (questionnaires, surveys, pre- and post-tests to assess knowledge of participants at baseline and after intervention); technology (technological or software needs); funds (cost of educating staff, printing or producing educational materials, gathering and analyzing data before, during, and following implementation); and staff to initiate, oversee, and evaluate change.

Evaluation Plan
