Requirements
Part 1: Project Report
Develop your data review project report. Use the Assessment
4 Final Project Report Template [DOCX]. Authoritative sources should be
integrated into the Evidence-Based Recommendations and Conclusion sections of
the report.
Provide a minimum of two graphics (for example, pie chart,
graph, spreadsheet, or process map), two evidence-based recommendations from
the literature, and one new insight. Place these additions in your document
under the headings Analysis of the Data, Evidence-Based Recommendations, and
Conclusion, respectively.
The requirements outlined below correspond to the first four
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 assessment
scoring guide to better understand how each criterion will be assessed.
Analyze performance data and trends.
Present your graphics, along with a concise analysis.
Describe the significant findings, trends, and any new
insights evident from the graphics.
Determine whether 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.
Identify a short list of interventions to solve the problem,
supported by current (published within the past 3–5 years) authoritative
literature.
Consider adding additional best practice sources to your
initial review of the current 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.

convince the target audience to implement them.
Provide a conclusion for problem resolution and
organizational transformation.
Summarize the problem and method used for analysis.
Explain the key findings and their relevance to the problem.
Explain how your recommendations have the potential to
transform the organization (for example, enhancing patient safety, containing

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.
