You will design and develop an evidenced-based practice change, quality improvement, or
innovation that demonstrates the synthesis of WGU graduate competencies. This project is not
primary research but should be focused on scholarly evidence in support of practice
improvements, innovation, or general practice change. It will not require an Institutional Review
Board (IRB) approval. You will be required to conduct a comprehensive literature review that
defines the evidence in support of your project. The literature review represents a collection of
primary research studies that have already been conducted and that provide guidance for best
practices. Once your project plan is complete, you will create a professional presentation that
outlines your plan and then present it to your stakeholder group and preceptor.
