Introduction & Purpose of the Presentation
The dissemination of evidence-based practice (EBP) information is an important part of effective care delivery for providers as it allows stakeholders to implement different changes to meet patient expectations. Dissemination involves the spread and sharing of clinical, research, and theoretical findings with goals of transitioning new knowledge to points of care (DeNisco, 2019). Dissemination requires organizations to have effective culture and be ready for change as well as selection of the best EBP model to implement new change. The use of Fall TIPS to reduce falls in medical-surgical units reduces the adverse effects of fall, improves patient safety and overall satisfaction. The purpose of this presentation is to disseminate the outcomes of the proposed EBP project for effective implementation in the medical-surgical unit to reduce the prevalence of patient falls.
EBP Project
The evidence-based practice process involve the integration of research findings, clinician’s care experience and patient preferences. EBP projects focus on optimizing providers and team conduct to support changes for patients to get quality care and reduce adverse effects of falls like injuries and associated complications and costs. Patient satisfaction and engagement are important while implementing EBP in health care settings. In this case, the need to reduce falls through tailoring interventions for patient safety (TIPS) is essential to offering quality care and considering the concerns that patients may have and critical to improving their response to safety measures by providers
PICOT Statement
Among hospitalized adult patients in medical-surgical units (P) does the use of TIPS toolkit as a bundled care approach (I) compared to normal falls prevention approach (C) reduce the prevalence of falls by 20%(O) within 6 months (T)?
