Disseminating Result
The dissemination of EBP results serves multiple important roles. Sharing results makes the case for your decisions. It also adds to the body of knowledge, which creates opportunities for future practitioners. By presenting results, you also become an advocate for EBP, creating a culture within your organization or beyond that informs, educates, and promotes the effective use of EBP.
To Prepare:
Review the final PowerPoint presentation you submitted in Module 5, and make any necessary changes based on the feedback you have received and on lessons you have learned throughout the course.
Consider the best method of disseminating the results of your presentation to an audience.
To Complete:
Create a 5-minute, 5- to 6-slide narrated PowerPoint presentation of your Evidence-Based Project.
Be sure to incorporate any feedback or changes from your presentation submission in Module 5.
Explain how you would disseminate the results of your project to an audience. Provide a rationale for why you selected this dissemination strategy.

Organizational Culture And Readiness For Change
The first assessment will help to determine the ability of the current organization to accept change to the nursing practice
Prior assessment of the organization’s challenges to change embracement is key to provide solutions to health care problems in the society
According to the Organization Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI), the staff responses indicate the willingness of the organization to change
Current Problem Or Opportunity For Change
The need for change is to reduce falls
The main barrier to this facility is lack of sufficient knowledge about evidence-based practice implementation
Patients with falls require a long duration of hospital stay for the management of the condition.
Patients, clinicians, researchers, nurses, and doctors will support the project and influence the staff during its adoption.
A Proposed Evidence-based Idea For A Change In Practice Using An EBP Approach To Decision Making
A Stepping On is an evidence-based program proposed in our facility to empower elderly people to practice health behaviors that improve home-care management, minimize falls rates and improve quality of life (Clemson & Swann, 2007).
Stepping On will:
Reduce fall-related deaths
Reduce fall-related health problems
Reduce falls
A Plan For Knowledge Transfer Of This Change
Provide training for nurses and non-staff in fall risk reduction strategies
Set aside resources and come up with plans to “make the case” for reducing falls across stakeholders diversity (LoBiondo-Wood & Haber, 2017).
Train healthcare providers
Measurable Outcomes I Hope To Achieve With The Implementation Of This Evidence-based Change
Creating systems and policies that reduce fall rates
Increase public awareness about fall prevention
Healthcare facility to record zero fall rates
A Summary Of The Critical Appraisal Of The Peer-reviewed Articles I Previously Submitted
All the four peer-reviewed articles were examined by filtering the quality and content of the resources to determine the credibility and validity of each (LoBiondo-Wood & Haber, 2017).
Also, the articles enhanced healthcare professional’s skill since it determined whether the research evidence is true (free of bias) and relevant to their patients.
An Explanation About What I Learned From Completing The Evaluation Table
Evaluation table helped me realize that before starting any monitoring activity, I have to:
Develop an evidence-based research question
Know how the stakeholders will collect data to track indicators
Know how to analyze the monitored data, and
To know how to disseminate the results of the collected information
An Explanation About What I Learned From Completing The Levels Of Evidence Table
Levels of Evidence” tables have helped me understand the importance of developing an outline and grade the best evidence (Dang & Dearholt, 2017).
Also, the review question of the study with the type of level of evidence used determine the choice of study design (LoBiondo-Wood & Haber, 2017).
An Explanation About What I Learned From Completing The Outcomes Synthesis Table
I realized that, outcome synthesis table simply answered my PICOT question
The writing must remain objective and accurately report the information from the original sources.
