Topic 8: Evidence-Based Practice Appraisal_ Topic 8 DQ 2
Evidence-based practice is critical in the management of different healthcare processes. Evidence-based practice is commonly applied by healthcare institutions to enhance the quality of service delivery and to enhance effective patient outcomes. Thus, evidence-based practice is a powerful tool that can be applied to advance improvement in healthcare processes. The EBP project sought to advance stress among nurses by proposing the implementation of training on mindfulness mediation among nurse to improve overall attention, empathy, and presence of nurses with patients and their families (Derman & Jaeger, 2018). Most healthcare institutions rely on the evidence-based practice to advance or enhance improvement in healthcare processes.
There are different strategies that can be applied to enhance adherence to the evidence-based practices. One of the strategies is the optimization of the application of EBP, healthcare providers in VA health care system will be provided with training on EBP to encourage them and increase their confidence. The process of training will ensure that nurses and other healthcare professionals have advanced knowledge and strategies on how to undertake different activities (Gilmartin et al., 2017). The application of evidence-based practices require adherence to the best practices that can ensure progress in the healthcare or clinical processes.
Finally, training on mindfulness meditation in nursing is one of the effective strategies that can be applied to ensure effective evidence-based practice processes. The technologically advanced, intricate, and stressful nature of health care has greatly compromised the ability of nurses to diligently discharge their duties due to risks of burnout and stress. Effective implementation of the evidence-based practice require adherence to the above factors in addition to other factors that may lead to effective and efficient health outcomes.
