Week 6 Assignment: EBP Change Process form ACE Star Model of Knowledge Transformation

Identify the topic and the nursing practice issue related to this topic. (This MUST involve a nursing practice issue.) Errors are very common in hospital settings. Errors have adverse effects and place the health of most patients at risk of illness and even death. The topic is the reduction of errors by nurses in health care institutions through the promotion of a safety culture Star Point 2: Summary (Evidence to support need for a change) Describe the practice problem in your own words and formulate your PICOT question. The ever-increasing number of errors in healthcare settings makes up the practice problem. The errors range from missed care, patients hands-off, infections, falls and medication errors. Despite the fatal effects of errors, little has been done to promote a safety culture in healthcare settings and therefore improve patient outcomes. List the systematic review chosen from the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews from the Chamberlain library. Type the complete APA reference for the systematic review selected. 1. Flynn, F., Evanish, J. Q., Fernald, J. M., Hutchinson, D. E., & Lefaiver, C. (2016). Progressive care nurses improving patient safety by limiting interruptions during medication administration. Critical care nurse, 36(4), 19-35. 2. Cloete, L. (2015). Reducing medication errors in nursing practice. Cancer Nursing Practice, 14(1). 3. Bush, P. A., Hueckel, R. M., Robinson, D., Seelinger, T. A., & Molloy, M. A. (2015). Cultivating a culture of medication safety in prelicensure nursing students. Nurse educator, 40(4), 169-173. Briefly summarize the main findings (in your own words) from the systematic review and the strength of the evidence. Patient safety is one of most critical factors in the promotion of quality healthcare. It is one of the factors constantly monitored by most health organizations across the world. Nurses are critical in the promotion of safety culture due to the nature of their roles and their hand-on handling of patients. Some of the outlined patient safety predictors include communication about errors, constant feedback, hospital management support, management expectations and teamwork in solving possible errors. Star Point 3: Translation (Action Plan) Identify care standards, practice guidelines, or protocols that may be in place to support your intervention planning (These may come from your organization or from the other sources listed in your Summary section in Star Point 2). The presence of a comprehensive learner-centered and engaging training and supervision modules that increase skills, attitude and knowledge as well as create awareness to nurses on the various ways to avoid errors promote patient safety ...............................................................................................CONTINUE
