Description
EB005: Evidence-Based Decision Making
Overview
For this Performance Task Assessment, you will create a narrated PowerPoint presentation recommending and supporting an evidence-based practice change for your current healthcare organization.
Submission Length: An 8- to 14-slide narrated PowerPoint presentation.
Your response to this Assessment should:
Reflect the criteria provided in the rubric.
Adhere to the required assignment length.
This Assessment requires submission of one (1) file, a narrated PowerPoint presentation. Save your file as EB005_presentation_firstinitial_lastname (for example, EB005_presentation_J_Smith).
Before submitting your Assessment, carefully review the rubric. This is the same rubric the Assessor will use to evaluate your submission and it provides detailed criteria describing how to achieve or master the Competency. Many students find that understanding the requirements of the Assessment and the rubric criteria help them direct their focus and use their time most productively.
Instructions
To complete this Assessment:
Reflect on your current healthcare organization and think about potential opportunities for evidence-based change.
(You may have completed the next three points in previous competencies.)
Identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of an evidence-based change. (Note: You are required to focus on the same clinical issue of interest in the competencies EB002–EB006.)
Develop a PICOT question to address this issue.
Using the keywords from the PICOT question, search at least four different databases in the Walden Library to identify at least four relevant peer-reviewed articles at the systematic-reviews level.
Create a PowerPoint presentation by addressing the following in 8–14 slides (total for all topics)
Briefly describe your healthcare organization, including its culture and readiness for change. (You may opt to keep various elements of this anonymous, such as your company name.) (1–2 slides)
Describe the current problem or opportunity for change. Include in this description the circumstances surrounding the need for change, the scope of the issue, the stakeholders involved, and the risks associated with change implementation in general. (2–3 slides)
Propose an evidence-based idea for a change in practice using an evidence-based practice approach to decision making. Note: You may find further research needs to be conducted if sufficient evidence is not discovered. (3–5 slides)
Be sure to include a description of the PICOT question that you developed for your search, and which databases you consulted.
Describe your plan for knowledge transfer of this change, including knowledge creation, dissemination, and organizational adoption and implementation. (1–2 slides)
Describe the measurable outcomes that you hope to achieve with the implementation of this evidence-based change. (1–2 slides)
Be sure to provide APA citations for the supporting evidence-based, peer-reviewed articles that you selected to support your thinking.

• Go to the “Home” tab at the top and click the “New Slide” or “Layout” button to
access different formatting for your slides.
• Choose formatting that presents your information in the most logical way.
• Use consistent, grammatically parallel format for bulleted lists (for example, on this
slide, each element begins with an imperative verb).
• You can also consult APA’s suggestions on formatting lists.
• End bullet points consistently, either with or without a period.
Slide Title
• Keep font of text consistent.
• Be sure headings are consistent in their spacing, placement, size, etc.
• Consider using the slide after the title slide to summarize your presentation’s points
(like an abstract for a paper).
Slide Title
Your slides can also contain entire paragraphs, like this one does. In both paragraphs and
bulleted lists in your presentation, citation rules apply just as they do in papers: when
using or referencing another author’s ideas, you must cite that source. When
incorporating a citation in a slide, do so just as you would in a traditional paper:
According to Jones (2020), presentations are not very different from papers.
• According to Smith and Cat (2020), you should make your presentation great, not
just good.
Use APA style rules to format any tables and figures in your presentation:

• Remember to adhere to any assignment guidelines regarding presentation format.
This template contains suggestions only.
• Keep in mind that there is no such thing as an “APA standard PowerPoint.” Review
our presentation tips for more information!
• Visit the Academic Skills Center for more tips on how to use PowerPoint or visit
Microsoft’s PowerPoint help and learning website.
Slide Title
• Always include a reference list at the end of your presentation, just like you would in
a paper. Reference list entries take the same format they would in a paper,
including a hanging indent. Visit the Common Reference List Examples page for the
correct APA format. Here are a few examples:
