1. Clinical question
   a) does normal saline flushing effective in preventing occlusion in CVAD among cancer patient?
2. Critical appraisal of evidences the each articles
3. Summary of evidences search by using synthesis table
4. Recommendations for projects
5. Implementation processes
6. Auditing of project= budget
7. Barriers/ strength and strategies= gantt chart
8. Impact of changes
9. Future plans

Need to include JBI model, level of evidence, the fame scale
