Strategies of Disseminating EBP
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the incorporation of medical skills, patient worth, and most excellent evidence into a choice making procedure for patient care. Dissemination strategy aim at spreading the knowledge and the associated evidence-based interventions across a given geographical location, practice settings, and health care providers (Seigel, 2016). Below ill discuss the two strategies I’ll be most inclined to use and their barriers, one that I will be least likely to use and how to overcome the barriers.
Poster presentation, this strategy method increases the reach for evidence by the targeted audience. It also presents an opportunity to organize data, get experience in data presentation, discuss findings one-on-one situation, and get feedback from colleagues. The other strategy is a publication in peer-reviewed journals, which is a multi-prolonged approach. It gives the audience a more extended time phrase to access the information intended to be passed across (Elliot, Ally, 2017). The strategy that I would be least inclined to use is podium presentation. This is because the concentration span of an adult human being is 10-15 minutes, the audience form an opinion of the speaker based on dressing code, gestures, etc. hence the speaker has to be perfect, cannot panic, pontificate, prolongate or procrastinate, and it takes more time to prepare(Williams, Dugarte, 2018).
The challenges that might be encountered while using poster presentation and publication in peer-review journals include lack of enough time, no opportunity for questions, a limited number of space, a limited number of clinical staff attending EBP and lack of understanding of how to write a publication (Seigel, 2017). These might be overcome by running champions for implementation of EBP to be used for educational purposes, allow apple time for clinical staff to attend round tables, and practice on the writing skills for publication.
