As a new CNO of a medium-sized hospital in Texas, you want to make sure that every process in your hospital is up to date and evidence-based.
(a) List all of the steps that it takes to implement evidence based practice in nursing.
(b) Estimate how many processes you would need to review and revise (for this scenario the organization is running “okay” as best as you can figure, but also, you have been told that no work has ever been done at this hospital to ensure that everything is evidence based, nor have there been any initiatives to implement evidence based practice.)
(c) How long do you think it would take to work to ensure that all of the processes you have identified would be evidence based practice?
