NURS FPX 6011 Assessment 3 Implementing Evidence-Based Practice

The action plan will be based on

• Project Overview and Objective: To help the type 2 diabetes patient adapt to healthier dietary habits and engage in regular physical activities to improve blood sugar levels, it is important to have clear goals for the project.
• Team Building: To provide a better experience for the patients, assemble a team of endocrinologists, dietitians, nurses, physicians, and other staff members to assign roles and responsibilities to the team and to ensure that everyone’s role is being monitored and helpful for patients.
• Need assessment. The initial step is to conduct a need assessment for the individuals to identify specific needs, preferences, and values of the target population.
• Education and prevention program: Developing patient-friendly resources to educate regarding healthy eating and exercise, such as portion control, meal planning, physical activity guidelines and benefits, etc., while ensuring that information is culturally sensitive
• Training and development: Training the development of healthcare professionals for delivering lifestyle interventions through workshops and effective communication training
• Patient enrollment: Identification of the eligible patients through regular check-ups and then engaging them in voluntary conversation regarding the benefits of lifestyle changes
• Individualized Care Plan: Developing treatment plans that are personalized for each patient while keeping their health status, readiness to change, and treatment preferences in mind. The goal is to set achievable goals.
• Tools or resources needed: Dietary consultations, physical exercise equipment, and funding for program implementation
• Monitoring and follow-up: Regular follow-up and monitoring of the patient’s progress through blood sugar checks and weight assessments
• Timelines: Setting realistic timelines for achieving goals and then reviewing them

Stakeholders and Potential Barriers to Project Implementation

The stakeholders in this intervention project are:

• The patient has type 2 diabetes. One of the major stakeholders in the project’s implementation are the patients for whom the project is being devised. The aim of the project is to improve the lifestyle of diabetic patients to control their blood glucose levels and their diet. The primary beneficiary of the project is the patient, and involving them can help in management and adherence to the treatment plan.
• Healthcare providers.  Health care providers such as endocrinologists, dietitians, physicians, nurses, etc. hold a significant position in the project implementation as they are the direct deliverables that would provide the intervention plan to the patient, monitor progress, and provide support and encouragement to the patient.
• Project team member. The role of the project team members, such as analysts, educators, and managers, is to conduct the need-based assessment, design the intervention, provide the educational resource material, and then evaluate the efficacy of the project to understand how much the project has benefited the patients.
• Healthcare organizations. Healthy organizations are the ones that hold the resources and infrastructure for the implementation of the project, and the availability of the infrastructure and resources helps to evaluate the efficacy and reachability of the project to the desired patient.
• Families. Families and care give us an important role in the treatment plant, as the support and motivation from the families can help the patient stay committed to the lifestyle changes and in following up on post-treatment follow-ups.
• Community support organizations Community support organizations are the groups that provide support and motivation to the patient while living in a community and help them follow their treatment regime.

Similarly, the following are the potential barriers to the implementation of the project:

• Lack of patient engagement When it comes to patients, one of the biggest barriers to the implementation of the patient-based intervention is that some patients might struggle with motivational change and misconceptions about lifestyle modification, which makes it more challenging for them to adapt to a change. Therefore, creating accountability and self-monitoring can help overcome such issues.
• socioeconomic and cultural factors. Values and p
