Implementing Practice Change Projects
Envision implementing practice projects in your setting. Have any practice projects been implemented in your setting or agency? If not, find an article that described in some detail the implementation of a practice change project. To what extent were research results used as the basis for the change? Describe the process and whether the project had a long-term positive effect. What are the facilitators in your setting that will help you implement this important aspect of the nurse with an advanced degree? What are the barriers in your setting to implementing this role?
Implementing practice change projects in healthcare settings is essential for improving patient outcomes and enhancing care quality. In our setting, several such projects have been initiated, focusing on integrating evidence-based practices into clinical workflows. These initiatives underscore the importance of translating research findings into practical applications to achieve sustainable improvements.
Utilization of Research in Practice Change Projects
A notable example is the implementation of the Guided Care model, which emphasizes proactive, comprehensive healthcare for patients with multiple chronic conditions. Developed by experts at the Roger C. Lipitz Center for Integrated Health Care, this model assigns a registered nurse to work closely with physicians, providing coordinated care that includes comprehensive assessments, care planning, patient monitoring, and support for family caregivers. Research indicates that this approach has led to improved quality of care, reduced healthcare costs, and increased satisfaction among healthcare providers.
