complex approach to physical activity policy (Ogilvie et al., 2010; Sallis, Story, & Lou, 2009). Therefore, a process evaluation using program theory was conducted to gain a better understanding of the factors that could influence the successful implementation of a state plan physical activity plan. However, the implementation of the Nebraska Physical Activity and Nutrition State Plan (NPANSP) failed to fully implement and reach the target audience. While funding and politics
cardiac, stroke, trauma, sepsis, and pediatric emergencies. In the last few years the shortage of nurses with experience in specialty areas has become more evident. The vacancies of nurses retiring or moving out of the facility, is creating unsafe practices with high patient ratios. Thus, forcing managers to look at the need to hire new Registered Nurse graduates into a specialty area. In addition, this new trend is changing the hiring process, forcing the hospital and specialty units to look at all
communities. Nevertheless, little is known about how to quantify levels of policy implementation in order to understand and appropriately interpret policy outcomes at the state and local levels (Ogilvie et al., 2010; Sallis, Story, & Lou, 2009). A process evaluation of the implementation of a state-level physical activity plan is proposed to improve our understanding of the mechanisms of policy implementation using a realist evaluation method. Analytic Framework The need for evidence related to policy influences

On the other hand, providers while in the exam room should follow the five communication practices designed by the National Learning Consortium (NLC) to foster a effortless integration and transition of computers into their practice: Allow patient to look on computer
In general, policy evaluation is the process of objectively understanding how a policy was implemented and what effects did it have, for whom, how and why. There is a wide range of evaluation options available, however, each needs to be tailored to the type of policy, program or intervention or delivery of service considered. Brownson, Chriqui and Stamatakis (2009) explain that evaluation of public health policies can take the form of three primary types: process evaluation, which aims to understand
resources required for change, and propose evaluation methods of quality measures. Background of
Application of Nursing Theory Author’s name Institutional affiliation Introduction The use of nursing theories has practical use and benefits in the clinical nursing practice. One of the pillars of professional clinical nursing practice is patient safety and nurses are required to exercise the initiatives of improving patient care and treatment outcomes. Nursing theories are built from the dynamic process of using nursing science and are reproduced through research and
action research and study groups,this led to the development of Change Theory; his major contribution to nursing (Miner, 2006). Path to Change Theory Lewin theorized Studied leadership Research on group decisions and and leadership that “behavior is a democratic processes climates which led to functional led to the the development of interaction of development of the field of person and theories focusing on Organizational environment” the motivation of Behavior
The first phase of the project involved reviewing implementation survey. After analysis of the survey results, the nurse’s perceptions of the significant change to the practice of change-of-shift reporting guided the effort. Due to the organizational change to bedside shift report as part of an initiative to ensure that care practices are more patient centered, the primary outcome of interest would be an increase in nurse compliance and satisfaction with the change. Also of interest was compliance

It also include the change theory, nursing theory, and evidence based practice influences on the implementation process. To implement the change project there are multiple steps that must be taken. Education is the first step in implementing the change project. Education is a major part of the process because it brings
