Authoritative sources should be integrated into the Evidence-Based Recommendations and Conclusion sections of the report.

Provide a minimum of three visual data summaries (for example, pie chart, graph, spreadsheet, and process map), two evidence-based recommendations from the literature, and one new insight. Place these additions in your document under the headings: Data Display, Recommendations, and Conclusion.

Add, in an appendix, the balanced scorecard table that you have created in Assessment 2.

Note: The requirements outlined below correspond to the first five grading criteria in the scoring guide. Be sure that your project report addresses each point, at a minimum. You may also want to read the Data Review Project Report and Presentation Scoring Guide to better understand how each criterion will be assessed.

  • Align a problem statement, performance indicators, and outcome measures with an organizational strategic need.
    • What additional information would strengthen the alignment and make it more explicit?
  • Summarize the key findings from a review of current and relevant authoritative literature.
    • Be concise and substantive. Provide sufficient information in the summary to adequately cover the selected topic.
    • Consider adding additional best practice sources to your initial review of the current literature.
  • Articulate the value of a project to an organization.
    • Consider a strategic systems perspective when contemplating value to the organization.

  • Analyze performance data and trends.
    • Present your visual data displays, along with a concise analysis.

    • Determine if there are any limitations to your findings, obstacles to collection or interpretation of data, or potential for bias.
    • Ensure your data is valid and reliable.
  • Provide evidence-based recommendations, a conclusion for problem resolution, and organizational transformation.
    • Identify a short list of interventions to solve the problem, supported by current (published within the past 3–5 years) authoritative literature.
    • Consider how legal, regulatory, ethical, patient safety, and organizational factors are related to the problem.
    • Make realistic recommendations that are within the organization’s capability. They should not be based upon uncertain funding sources such as government grants, which might be discontinued.
    • Make your recommendations sufficiently compelling to convince the target audience to implement them.
    • Include, more importantly, a clear statement about how the project added value to the organization and aligned with the organization’s strategic direction and goals.
  • Combine clear, coherent, and original writing, in APA style, with relevant and credible evidence from the scholarly and professional literature.
    • Apply correct APA formatting to your source citations.
    • Consider how or why a particular piece of evidence supports your main points, claims, or conclusions.
    • Make sure your supporting evidence is clear and explicit.
