Description
As healthcare organizations become more complex and our focus on the patient experience expands, nurses are leading and participating in evidence-based practice (EBP) projects and quality improvement (QI) initiatives with the goal of improving patient outcomes.
In what ways is EBP applied where you work or where you do clinicals?
Discuss the findings of a QI initiative or study from either your clinical location/hospital website or another online source.
In order to receive full credit, you will need to clearly respond to both parts of the question using subtitles or bullets AND cite at least one scholarly reference in your response. You are required to participate on at least three (3) days of the week to receive full participation points
Use Credible and Scholarly Resources
Since this is a course about issues and trends in nursing, we want to learn how to identify what those issues are. If you try to google sources for the discussion posts, you will not always find the correct answers.
Using the library to research articles will be helpful for this class. We want the best evidence to support our discussion posts. Support what you say with examples and connect it to the concepts we are learning and provide evidence (textbook, articles, research, etc.) to support what you are saying in initial and peer posts.
Hint: The textbook and online presentations as well as the resources provided each week will assist you in answering the discussion prompts. It is advisable to use control F (or command F on Mac) to search for key terms if using the electronic textbook or the index for a hard copy textbook.
Answering the Initial Prompt Completely and On Time
Make sure to answer the prompt thoroughly, providing details and specifics. In order to do this, it will help you if you label each part of the prompt with a heading/question separately if applicable.
