I believe the most important aspect to successful implement evidence-based practice is a common understanding and stress of the importance of EBP among health care professionals. Everyone need to be on the same page and understand that practice methods that are not backed by evidence are no longer acceptable. I believe the facility needs to have a mandatory meeting with all the health care professionals and discuss how EBP will be implemented into their facility. I also believe that there should be repercussions if EBP is not put into place.

The facility my change project has potential impact upon is a teaching hospital which is known for promoting, supporting, and encouraging clinical research and implementing latest evidence-based practice. Erlanger serves as the region's only academic teaching hospital and strives to employ healthcare professionals who are knowledgeable in the latest skill, technique, and evidence based practice (EBP) (Erlanger Health System, 2017). This serves as both a strength and opportunity for the facility. A major strength for the hospital is the support that is has for research and implementation of all change processes. In 2013 the Institute for Clinical Research (EICR), was developed to solidify unity of two objectives, providing patients’ access

They are tasked to encourage and facilitate EBP projects. This is one way of actively supporting, promoting and continuing to improve patient outcomes with the use of evidence-based practices. Challenges arise when there are no consistent leadership in this SL group that may be due to personal reasons, schedule challenges and the different challenges that may come during the steps in conducting the EBP project itself. In my personal experience on the EBP project on bedside handoff, the advantages and benefits of changing from nurse-to-nurse handoff at the nurses’ station to bedside handoff were emphasized to all stakeholders, including the increase in patient satisfaction when patients are involved in their care. However, we faced a high push-back form staff when it came to the implementation phase. There were concerns that handoff would be longer than usual, and that breech of patient confidentiality and privacy would ensue if bedside handoff was done. Despite all that, the bedside handoff EBP was successfully implemented mostly due to the timing and adequacy of staff education that included role playing, as well as strong support of the leadership team. According to Adams, Farrington and Cullen (2012), “The final and perhaps most intimidating step in the evidence-based practice (EBP) process is dissemination.” But with proper preparation, this can be

Research and best-practices are an integral part of evidence-based management(EBM) and allow an organization to successfully implement EBM into their facilities. HSHS-EWD is a group of four hospitals that work with several clinics and healthcare providers to promote the health and well-being of many local communities. Connie Dorn, manager of central scheduling and prior authorization, is located within the revenue department and oversees registration and scheduling of the four different hospitals. During her 10-year tenure with the hospital systems she has seen many changes occur that have been beneficial to the hospitals, patients, and staff. Management meets on a continuous business to discuss areas that need improvement in order to stay on top of the latest advancements in the medical community. Connie currently sits on many boards, teams, and groups within the hospital system and is very experienced in the utilization of research and best-practices in regards to EBM. She recently utilized these skills while seating on a team that was trying to find a solution to denial of claims and poor customer satisfaction due to lack of authorization being in place. During the research phase it was discovered that the authorization team was obtaining authorization, however, physician offices were ordering the test incorrectly causing the radiologist to update the orders. Her team eventually found a solution that is in the process of being rolled out system wide called ACR-Select.
