After discussion with your preceptor discuss how leadership and economic models of a healthcare facility, optimize EBP to improve patient outcomes.

EBP is to improve health care, the cost must be addressed and considered in the

value equation. Practice changes require an upfront investment of time and

resources. These investments create an improvement in outcomes, whether

clinical (e.g., reduced infections), organizational (e.g., shorter length of stay), or

fiscal (e.g., reduced unplanned readmissions, which helps the organization avoid

Medicare penalties). Any of these may have cost implications. Some EBP

improvements may not create cost savings but may achieve an equally valuable

outcome (e.g., patient satisfaction) that helps fulfill the organizational mission.

(hfma.org, 2018)). After discussing with my mentor regarding the

implementation of EBP, it is important that financial, clinical, and quality aspects

areas are critical areas to consider when developing EBP. The financial aspect

that needs consideration in the development of the evidence-based practice

project is whether the evidence-based solution would help in reducing the cost

of health care services for the targeted population. The change project intends

to reduce the cost of health care by reducing the fall rate among hospital

patients. Which then leads to a reduction in fall-related medical costs.

For quality consideration, the intervention must help in promoting the

anticipated patient outcomes, which includes reducing falls-related injuries or

death, thereby promote the patient’s quality of life and reduce hospital length of

stay. Change projects, such as reeducation intervention to promote the quality

of care. EB risk assessment increased prevention activities to purposeful

rounding, improves the quality of care, and increases patient satisfaction. To

further ingrain EBP within health care professional practice, EBP processes,

whether related to developing, disseminating, or implementing evidence, be

embedded in a more structured way into everyday clinical care to promote

active and consistent engagement with EBP continuously (ebm.bmj.com, 2019).

The clinical aspect that needs consideration is the availability of health care

staff with relevant expertise and knowledge to facilitate the evidence-based

solution in the medical-surgical unit. The current staffing shortage in the health

care system is a reason to consider the skill required to implement Evidence-

based projects. Its availability and the implications on the workload of the health

care professionals in an organization
