Translation Models and Frameworks
Prepare an EBP QI Presentation to Stakeholders at a Practice Site
Identify key stakeholders in the practice site who are responsible for quality improvement/evidence-based practice.
For stakeholder analysis—those who will be involved in, affected by, or influential in the change process; the role of each; their level of commitment and influence for or against the change.
Review stakeholder assessment guidelines (White, Dudley-Brown, & Terhaar, 2019, pp. 218–221).
Determine practice problem(s) of concern to stakeholders/nursing staff that are amenable to intervention.
Conduct a needs assessment to further define the problem(s) identified and methods used to further describe the problem.
Determine organizational readiness for change (can be assessed at the individual or supra-individual level, e.g., team, department).
Change commitment reflects members’ shared resolve to implement a change.
Change efficacy reflects members’ shared belief in their collective capability to implement a change.
Conduct a literature search to find evidence of existing interventions, as well as perceived need for interventions to resolve the identified problem, as defined in current existing publications.
Generate a proposal for addressing the problem based on findings in the literature.
Present the proposal to the stakeholders and elicit their comments, suggestions, and support.
Obtain written commitments from key partners that state what they will do to implement the innovation; this includes nurses and other health care providers whose support is needed.
