Implementation Into Practice

The Institute of Medicine set a goal that 90% of health care decisions should be evidence-based by 2020. At best guess, less than 10% of decisions use best evidence. Bridging the gap between research, findings, and practice implementation is one strategy to meet this important goal. This assignment will help you to find gaps that may be used for your project.

General Requirements:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

· Review the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) website to complete the assignment.

· Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

· Use at least two additional scholarly research sources published within the last 5 years. Provide citations and references for all sources used.

Directions:

Select a practice from the AHRQ comparative effectiveness research site and write a 1,000-1,250 word paper that looks at a gap that exists between research findings and the implementation of those findings in practice. Include the following:

1. Discuss the practice.

2. Assess to what extent the practice is being implemented.

3. Evaluate the barriers to implementation into practice.

4. Propose ways to overcome the barriers.

5. Discuss the resources available on the selected site to inform translation.

You are required to complete your assignment using real-world application. Real-world application requires the use of evidence-based data, contemporary theories, and concepts presented in the course. The culmination of your assignment must present a viable application in a current practice setting. For more information on parameters for practice immersion hours, please refer to DNP resources in the DC Network.

Imagine that you are a leadership consultant.

1. Use your example of conflict in your professional practice (from the Conflict resolution assignment you did last week) and build on the readings, videos, and peer input you received. (See attachments) 

2. Critically analyze the situation and create a plan that would have helped to resolve the conflict and promote collaboration among the group.

3. Your plan should include 7 to 10 scholarly references, and be seven to eight pages long (page count does not include the cover or references list). Review your conflict scenario and include the following

– Comprehension: Review the details of the conflict scenario, identifying the type and effects of the conflict.

– Application: Relate course content on delegation, empowerment, group dynamics, and constructive group roles and behaviors to the identified conflict scenario.

– Analysis/Synthesis: Clarify understanding of the internal and external variables contributing to the conflict. Create a plan that would have helped to resolve the conflict and promote a high functioning health care team.

– Evaluation: Summarize the value of effective conflict resolution skills for the nurse leader.

In this assignment, you will be writing a 1,000-1,250 word paper describing the differing approaches of nursing leaders and managers to issues in practice. To complete this assignment, do the following:

1. Select an issue from the following list: bullying, unit closers and restructuring, floating, nurse turnover, nurse staffing ratios, use of contract employees (i.e., registry and travel nurses), or magnet designation.
2. Describe the selected issue. Discuss how it impacts quality of care and patient safety in the setting in which it occurs.
3. Discuss how professional standards of practice should be demonstrated in this situation to help rectify the issue or maintain professional conduct.
4. Explain the differing roles of nursing leaders and nursing managers in this instance and discuss the different approaches they take to address the selected issue and promote patient safety and quality care. Support your rationale by using the theories, principles, skills, and roles of the leader versus manager described in your readings.
5. Discuss what additional aspects mangers and leaders would need to initiate in order to ensure professionalism throughout diverse health care settings while addressing the selected issue.
6. Describe a leadership style that would best address the chosen issue. Explain why this style could be successful in this setting.

Use at least three peer-reviewed journal articles other than those presented in your text or provided in the course.

A nurse manager is attending a national convention and is attending a concurrent session on staffing ratios. Minimum staffing ratios are being discussed in the nurse manager’s own state. The nurse manager has a number of questions about staffing ratios that the session is covering. The nurse manager knows that evidence exists that increasing the number of RNs in the staffing mix leads to safer workplaces for nurses and higher quality of care for patients.

1. What are the three general approaches recommended by the American Nurses Association (2017) to maintain sufficient staffing?

2. Summarize the findings that are often cited as the seminal work in support of establishing minimum staffing ratio legislation at the federal or state level

.3. Analyze what proponents and critics say about whether mandatory minimum staffing ratios are needed.

Two registered professional nurses are attending a meeting where the focus is examining teaching methods that enable them to share information with newly diagnosed diabetic patients. One nurse initiates a discussion on the use of social media in teaching patients and the use of social media for all health care providers.

1. Discuss actions the nurse should take before using social media as a teaching tool.

2. What types of social media could benefit health care providers and patients?3. What are the pitfalls to utilizing social media for both patients and health care providers?

Write a paper  (2,000-2,500 words) in which you apply the concepts of epidemiology and  nursing research to a communicable disease. Refer to ″Communicable  Disease Chain,″ ″Chain of Infection,″ and the CDC website for assistance  completing this assignment.  Communicable Disease Selection  Choose one communicable disease from the following list:  Chickenpox Tuberculosis Influenza Mononucleosis Hepatitis B HIV Ebola Measles Polio Influenza Epidemiology Paper Requirements  Address the following:  Describe the communicable disease (causes, symptoms, mode of  transmission, complications, treatment) and the demographic of interest  (mortality, morbidity, incidence, and prevalence). Is this a reportable  disease? If so, provide details about reporting time, whom to report to,  etc. Describe the determinants of health and explain how those factors  contribute to the development of this disease. Discuss the epidemiologic triangle as it relates to the communicable  disease you have selected. Include the host factors, agent factors  (presence or absence), and environmental factors. (The textbook  describes each element of the epidemiologic triangle). Are there any  special considerations or notifications for the community, schools, or  general population? Explain the role of the community health nurse (case finding, reporting,  data collecting, data analysis, and follow-up). Identify at least one national agency or organization that addresses the  communicable disease chosen and describe how the organization(s)  contributes to resolving or reducing the impact of disease. Discuss a global implication of the disease. How is this addressed in  other countries or cultures? Is this disease endemic to a particular  area? Provide an example. A minimum of three peer-reviewed or professional references is required.
