o   Develop a practice improvement project basked off the PICOT question For Complete an evaluation outcome from the PICOT: Adults >65 years of age in the retirement community (P) does the utilization of an exercise program (I) compared to no exercise program (C) decrease fall rates (O) within one year (T)?

·        Literature Review/Synthesis (Use as Heading)

o   Use the 7 articles and complete a literature review. 7 articles on reference list.

EBP Change Model (Use as Heading)The model you will use to guide your project and change practice, including a rationale for that choice with at least 2 references. The change model you will use to motivate stakeholders with a rationale.Evaluation/Outcome (Use as heading)

o   PICOT Question: Complete an evaluation outcome from the PICOT : Adults >65 years of age in the retirement community (P) does the utilization of an exercise program (I) compared to no exercise program (C) decrease fall rates (O) within one year (T)?

Use Both the Evaluation and Synthesis Tables provided based on the pared-down search, with a narrative that explains the results and includes:What the evidence tells you about best practices for this topicHow the body of evidence will help you design your practice improvement projectOutcomes that you will measure to determine whether change has occurred, their sources (electronic health record [EHR], deaths, etc.), and how the data will be evaluated (this may be in the form of a grid in the appendix)
