Capstone Change Project Resources

After collaboration with my preceptor and assessment to evaluate the required resources needed for the strategic plan for the change proposal of pressure ulcer prevention at the organization of my capstone project, I was able to discover some of the following resources. These resources will assist in developing a written implementation plan for my capstone project.

Required Resources

1. Use of Grand Canyon University library databases discussed in the previous assignments.

2. Training nurses to advocate and creating diverse care delivery models using a PowerPoint presentation, sending e-mails to motivate and reward the staff for implementing the change proposal.

3. Use of multiple resources such as methods of prevention, research articles and journals to evaluate the different stages of pressure ulcers and what classifies each stage to show this is not like any other wound.

4. Use of evidence-based practice by implanting a “care bundle” and turning patients every two hours as recommended by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (Berlowitz et al., 2014). A care bundle encompasses best practices that when used in combination lead to better patient outcomes. The three components in the care bundle are a comprehensive skin assessment, standardized pressure ulcer risk assessment, and care planning and implementation to address areas of risk (Yilmazer & Tuzer, 2019).
