Get Buy in to Make Change in Practice

Description

PICO: Do patients over the age of 45 years with cardiovascular conditions and whose health information is handed over incompletely experience a prolonged hospital stay compared to patients of the similar age and diseases whose health information is thoroughly shared among nurses? To make a change in practice, nurses must get buy-in from other stakeholders. By presenting a compelling argument with information each audience will care about, you are more likely to get people to listen. This assignment is designed to get you thinking about how what you present can and should vary depending on who you’re talking to. Think about the following stakeholder groups: Organization administrators, e.g., CEO, CNO, supervisors Peer professionals, e.g., other nurses and interdisciplinary team members Patients and families If you wanted to implement your suggested change in practice, how would you convince these groups of people? What data would you present? Why? What information from the literature would each of these groups find important or interesting? Why? How would you convey your plans to evaluate your proposed intervention and validate or dismiss its effectiveness to influence practice? How much improvement would you suggest the organization see before the suggested intervention would be worth the expense of doing something differently?
