Capstone Project Milestone 1: Practice Issue and Evidence Summary Guidelines

Capstone Project Milestone 1: Practice Issue and Evidence Summary Guidelines

Updated 5/2018

Purpose

Clear identification of the practice issue is the first step in
evidence-based nursing. Next, the evidence is reviewed to determine the
best intervention to change practice outcomes. Completion of the
milestone will include identification of the practice issue using the
ACE Star Model of Knowledge Transformation and a review of the evidence
that will support an intervention that will change outcomes. The
evidence summary will be conducted through the ‘breaking down’ of a
systematic review on your topic for your change project.

This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes:

  process to integrate critical thinking with clinical judgment to assure
