My EBP project of improving the teaching of Diabetes Miletus patients on self-care is meant to improve both my hospital and practice for my fellow nurses. Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is predicated on a philosophy of constantly seeking to improve processes, systems, and procedures (Davidson et al., 2016; Shuman, 2017). It is on this basis that sharing of information is critical.
Dissemination of Results
Results for my EBP process shall be disseminated both internally and externally. The internal dissemination process will be through the hospital’s diabetes committee board. On a regular basis, I will pin updates on the EBP process on the board for my fellow nurses to peruse. On an external basis, the results will be posted on the webpage of the California Nurses Association. As a champion of both nurses and patient welfare, the website will provide a positive avenue for the information to reach as many nurses in California as possible. The mode of dissemination will be meticulously calibrated so as not to breach HIPAA Privacy Rules more so when it comes to patient identities and privileged information (Schulz & Eden, 2016; Davidson et al., 2016).
Delegate your assignment to our experts and they will do the rest.
Importance and Change of Communication Strategies
Sharing information is important as it reports both the successes and failures that will be attained in my projects. The successes will aid fellow nurses who can learn from my success and develop their own successful versions (Costa & Yakusheva, 2016). The failures, on the other hand, may attract innovative ideas on how to improve on the project. The main change in communication strategy shall involve shifting from an advocacy approach that is based more on advertising to an informational approach that is more informative. The dissemination process outlined herein is mainly horizontal within the profession as opposed to advocacy for outside parties.
Conclusion
My EBP project will be of help to fellow nurses within my hospital and around California. It will also draw insights from colleagues. It is based on this that a sound dissemination strategy for the project is necessary.
