Their monthly meetings are focused on OB issues, policies, education and process changes.The project has already been presented to them and the providers are in the process of reviewing the order set with the other OB providers and adding their recommendations for changes.Before implementation, the order set must be approved by this committee.Communication with this committee happens by getting on the agenda for the meeting and presenting the process change.Results will be communicated as the process is implemented with feedback requested from the providers and nursing that are involved in the implementation.This group of OB hospital leaders are key for the implementation and dissemination of the EBP project.The successful implementation and maintenance of EBP in an organization is complex and multifaceted.Communication with these leaders needs to be over time and at multiple levels (Stetler, Ritchie, Rycroft-Malone, & Charns, 2014).  An external method for the dissemination of my EBP project is Allina’s Excellian electronic healthrecord, which is a branch of Epic.The final version of the order set needs to be submitted for change to Excellian.This is important because we as a hospital cannot change our own order sets, it must be change through our EMR.Communication with this group will all be done electronically.Once the final revision is made, there is an electronic process to go through to revise the order set.This electronic process is important as each order is dependent on the patient presentation, so there needs to be much detailed work in lining up the orders with the presentation, so when you click on the patient presentation, the orders needed for that presentation are also selected.Results need to be communicated with Excellian for any adjustments needing to be made as the process is implemented.  Reference  Stetler, C.

This seems to be a rather lengthy project which may actually take years to see if there is any relevant change. One thing I can do is to see the number of families who are willing to receive the information regarding lead and its negative effects. By knowing how many families within a higher risk area are being given the necessary information to make educated choices regarding lead, this will allow me to know at least how many families I am working with. This would give me a base number and then I could further study the children within the first five years of their life to know if they have been tested for lead, have tested above the suggested limit, and if they are having any neuro or behavioral problems. This would then allow me to get a percentage to see if there have been any significant changes within the high-risk community. Unless when discussing it with the other stakeholders involved, they have other ideas to measure the outcome, I would propose this.  Reference  Prosci. (n.d.).
