Implementing change not matter how small or big there are always going to be barriers present from the staff and the facility. Its not always a smooth transition no matter how hard you try to prepare the staff and provide all of the information to show that this change is based off of evidence-based practice.  Some of the barriers that may be present could be but not limited to “themes identified included institutional and/or cultural barriers, lack of knowledge, lack of motivation, time management, physician and patient factors, and limited access to up-to-date user-friendly technology and computer systems.” (Tacia, Biskupski, Pheley, & Lehto, 2015)

The are some methods that have been discussed and presented that would help to eliminate the or lessen the barriers mentioned. Taking the approach of participating and engaging in the changes itself, exposing nurses to EBP and for the translation of current standards into clinical practice. Using the information and building and organization to sustain and support EBP with your leadership team; access and support the staff when it entails continuing education; and collaborative integration of team members will guide the development of clinical environments that promote EBP.

All in all, I really feel that is you present the information and show the staff and nurses the research you have found based on EBP you have the best opportunity to implement a change the best way possible. There is always going to be barriers such as resistance, time, and lack of knowledge but if you are prepared with the most information possible to educate and prepare the staff ahead of time and have the support of your leadership teams, the change should be implemented in the best fashion possible. This is not to say that there might be detours or speed bumps along the way, but it will be much easier the more prepared you are.
