How do you contribute to Improving the Quality of Care and EBP Culture in your Workplace?

As an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) who has been working in the clinic for the past two years, improving the quality of care and the culture of evidence-based practice (EBP) has been one of the major roles in the current workplace. The author has done this by:

Promoting and Teaching EBP Principles to my Colleagues

By being a strong advocate for EBP in the workplace, promoting the use of EBP principles to colleagues, and teaching them how to use EBP tools and techniques has been one of the driving forces in this profession as an APRN. Through this knowledge and assistance, they have developed their own personal EBP practices. This has led to an improvement in the quality of care delivered by the clinic.

Supporting my Colleagues in Implementing EBP Practices

The author has been a supporter of the colleagues when they had implemented EBP practices in their clinics by helping them find resources and support when they needed it and providing them with feedback on their implementation efforts. This has helped the co-workers to improve the quality of care they provide to the patients.

Challenging my Colleagues when they do not use EBP Practices Correctly

The author has been a critic of colleagues when they do not use EBP practices correctly. The author has challenged them on their assumptions, on the evidence that supports their practice, and on how best to deliver care to the patients. This has helped them to improve the quality of care they provide to the patients and members of their communities. Lastly, the author has been able to improve the quality of care and the culture of EBP in the current workplace by promoting and teaching EBP principles, supporting the colleagues when they implement EBP practices and challenging them when they do not use EBP practices correctly Evidence-Based Practice (EBP), Quality Improvement (QI), and Research Essay.

Conclusion

It is important to note that although EBP, AI, and research studies differ from each other, they are closely interrelated. This is because they are used together to enhance the quality of care as well as reduce medical errors leading to improved overall outcomes of the patients. It is for this reason that these terms should be used together to promote the quality of care in healthcare organizations.
