A successful dissemination has three goals awareness, understanding, and action and specific strategies are used to reach targeted audience (Myers & Barnes, 2004). Awareness brings attention to the study or new practice to the maximum number of stakeholders. Understanding provides a rationale or purpose of the study or new practice and action demonstrates how the study was implemented and provides an evaluation report. Selecting one or more of these goals that are appropriate for the target audience will increase the likelihood that the new practice will be accepted by key stakeholders as well as influence and increase the motivation of other healthcare organizations to implement the practice (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality [AHRQ], 2012). This paper provides a summary of strategies to disseminate the trial results of using alcohol disinfectant caps (ADCs) to prevent central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) to key stakeholders over a 2-month period followed by dissemination to the greater nursing collective. First, the evidence will be disseminated to the chief executive officer, chief nursing officer, medical director, and other senior leaders. This will be done by creating and presenting a …show more content…
First, a brief summary of the study, including the background, objectives, methods, intervention, findings, and conclusion will be posted in an online nursing forum (INC, 2012). Next, a formal research report with all relevant information listed above, literature review, and evaluation tools used during the study will be presented to the local chapter of the American Nurses Association (ANA). The ANA can assist with disseminating the findings to other members within the organization (INC,
Preventing surgical site infections are a major concern for surgeons. Many surgeons require patients to wash with a skin antiseptic prior to surgery. A chlorhexidine wash is the antiseptic of choice for many surgeons. The patient is to wash with the chlorhexidine wash daily for three days.
Shared governance is an innovative model used to provide direction for the professional practice of nursing. This model is used to direct nurses to participate in unit-based decision making that allow nurses to demonstrate accountability and ownership for their practices. The goal of the model is to improve quality patient care contain costs, and retain nursing staff. According to Marquis and Houston (2012), “In shared governance, the organization’s governance is shared among board members, nurses, physicians, and management” (p. 270-271). Shared governance is imperative in the healthcare institutions.
Primary Stakeholders: Patients, physicians, employers, insurers, and hospitals. In the spring of 2010, President Obama signed into law The Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA has since caused many heated debates and state appeals. The law itself provided multiple health reforms and made it possible for millions of uninsured and underinsured to gain health insurance for the first time ever (Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, 2014).
Team D designed the Quality analysis and implementation guidelines of the nurse training and data collection. NR training to be conducted and customized by the USA-WCH Nursing Division and developed with MGH as a
As you mentioned a clinical nurse leader (CNL) is in a great place to help initiate the use of evidence based practice into their clinical settings. They are in a position that gives them the resources and ability need to develop initiatives that improve patient outcomes (). Clinical nurses leaders are often the liaison between team members and patients, which allows them to actively engage all major stakeholders. I find that one of the ways that a clinical nurse leader uses evidence-based practice to reduce hospital-acquired infections is in his or her teaching to nursing staff, patient and their

Effective practise plays a crucial role in preventing further incidents and enhancing the quality of care in healthcare settings. By implementing evidence-based guidelines, standardised protocols, and continuous quality improvement initiatives, healthcare organisations can reduce the risk of errors, adverse events, and suboptimal outcomes. The following points describe how effective practise can achieve these objectives: Implementing Evidence-Based Practice: By incorporating the latest research findings and evidence-based guidelines into clinical practise, healthcare professionals can ensure that their care is based on the most up-to-date and effective approaches. Evidence-based practice helps reduce variations in care, promote consistency, and improve patient outcomes .

Nurses are critical for promoting health in the society. The profession is highly flexible, since they specialize in diverse operations in the medical field. Registered nurses, for instance, are responsible for the administration of medicine and inoculations to patients (American Nurses ' Association, 2000). Additionally, these professionals observe, record, and enlighten doctors of any changes in a patient’s health. Nurses interpret and evaluate diagnostic examinations to determine an individual’s condition, as well as making the necessary adjustments in patient treatment plans on their health progress.
This presentation reviews guidelines on the use of social media in nursing. Social media are "electronic tools that enhance communication, support collaboration, and enable users across the globe to generate and share content" (Henderson, p. 62) Different popular types of social media include social network sites, blogs, online chat rooms,
Dozens of clinically practicing nurses were approached; only 14 eligible nurses consented to participate. Only two major medical centers in the northeastern United States and UCI nurses and medical floor nurses participated in the study. The sample size was not efficient enough to capture all the facets of the phenomenon; Fackler, Chambers & Bourbonniere (2015) stated one limitation to the study was associated with difficulty recruiting participants. The second limitation being related to the setting; the study may not be important to nurses who do not work in major medical
screening, appropriate use of antibiotics, protective precautions i.e. gown, gloves and mask and appropriate patient isolation. Nursing leaders play a vital role in establishing practice expectations and providing the necessary resources and environment to ensure the spread of infections is minimized. For the reasons stated earlier, units that have strong leadership, and a perceived support for quality nursing care, are more likely to have engaged staff that promote hand washing and encourage one another to do so. Focusing on patient outcomes and cost-containment, as a transformational leader in the clinical setting, I intellectually stimulate my other coworkers by encouraging the use of evidence-based practice, I am currently learning in

Future Trends in Nursing Practice Nursing practice experiences constant changes due to the implementation of new trends related mainly to the demographic shifts, medical research, and technological advancements. Being the closest to patients’ caregivers, nurses are considered as major contributors to healthcare organizations. Nurses are obliged to have an evidence-based understanding of the significant influence that can be made through health promotion interventions and deliver this understanding to the community at large (Sanjiv, 2014). What are the most recent trends in the modern healthcare system; and what influence do they have on nursing? Nursing Roles: Due to the expanding opportunities within nursing, there is the need for collaborative
The implementation and evaluation stages of the nursing process are important in delivering appropriate care to a patient. Implementation involves the actions of the nurse like recording, delegating, it can also be assertive, rehabilitative, supportive, preventive, educative and observational activities. Evaluation, on the other hand focuses on the outcomes of the implemented care, it is ongoing, as it appraises the extent set goals and interventions were achieved and provides the basis for reassessment (Wrycraft 2015: 16). The implementation and evaluation of care given to a patient will need good communication and collaborative partnership between the nurse, patient, and other professionals in the team.
