Strategy Overview:

This teaching strategy is designed to teach students how to verify if policies utilized in healthcare facilities are congruent with current evidence-based practice. The policy is selected from a clinical facility. Once approved, students are to examine 3 research-based articles related to the policy to determine if the policy is current with the evidence. The student must then provide no more than a 2-page summary of each article consisting of a 1-2 paragraph summary of the research purpose and conclusion, 1-2 paragraphs summarizing a comparison/contrast of the policy with the research, and a 1-2 paragraph conclusion stating if the policy is in agreement with the current research or not. The project can be submitted electronically or in a 1-inch binder to include: title page, rubric, copy of policy, articles, summaries, and reference page. All written documents must follow APA guidelines.
