Becoming a Leader in the Translation of Evidence to Practice

  

Application 3: Becoming a Leader in the Translation of Evidence to Practice

Reflect on your growth, professionally and personally, since you embarked on your DNP journey. The AACN believes that one of the benefits of a practice doctorate is that it enhances your leadership skills to “strengthen practice and health care delivery” (2006, p. 5). As you continue to engage in your practicum experience, be cognizant of your growth in these areas.

In Week 6, you were asked to reflect on your leadership skills for this Assignment. This week, you continue your reflection on leadership and how you can lead the translation of evidence to practice through contribution to policy development.

Prepare for this week’s section of Application 3 as follows: Building      on the work you began in Week 6 for this Application, review this week’s      Discussion posting, and consider how you can lead policy development to      address your EBP Project issue.

To complete:

Due tomorrow 10/11/18 before midnight

Write a 2- to 3-page paper in APA format with a minimum of 5 scholarly references less than 5 years old that synthesizes (DO NOT GO OVER THREE PAGES): Your      vision of yourself as a leader—specifically:

1) How you would continue to increase your knowledge and awareness of financial, economic, and other concerns related to new practice approaches (see week 6 discussion attached you did for me, except focus on the critics the professor added for me [see bold and underlined professor critique below] which you failed to include in this discussion 

2) How translating evidence would enable you to affect or strengthen health care delivery and nursing practice

3) How you would advocate for the use of new evidence-based practice approaches through the policy arena (see week 7 discussion attached you did for me)

Professor Critics in week 6 on the cost and financial impact of the implementation of the project 

Dear student: Thank you for your contribution to this week’s discussion.  You brought forward potential costs associated with increased mobilization of ICU patients….namely the need for more nurse time.  Do you have some hard numbers you can provide on the potential cost of this? Do you have any local or national information on the cost of not mobilizing the patients (longer stays, increased infection, readmission)? Calculating approximate cost associated with the practice change versus the cost of not changing is important. This will help stakeholders see the value in the investment.

DQ91 RESPONSE

Dorothy Troutman    4 posts   Re: Topic 9 DQ 1  One of my personal strengths regarding professional presentations is my ability to explain things. I enjoy teaching and helping people understand information. One way that I can improve this is to make sure that I use simple language so that everyone in my audience is able to understand the material.  One of my personal weaknesses is keeping my presentation short. I feel like completing my BSN has helped me with this. The limited word count on our assignments has helped me to be more concise. Practicing my presentation will help me stay within my allotted time.  It is important for me to improve these skills if I plan to present in a more formal setting so I may provide my audience with clear communication and demonstrate respect for their time by staying within the allotted time.  To be a successful speaker, one must know their audience, adjust the presentation as needed, and have planned outcomes both for the speaker and audience (Zamfir, 2019).     Refernce  Zamfir, C., M.
