Re:Topic 9 DQ 2

Barriers are present in all change. Be it either from management/executives to the front-line staff tasked with performing or implementing the said change. For my specific EBP change, my main barrier foreseen would be from management/executives. Due to the increased cost that this practice change would propose at first, this can be seen as a very negative aspect of this change proposal. The cost incurred would be due to needing to have increased nursing staff on at one time, reason being that the nurse's would be seeing less patient's at a time so more are needed for the same census. This cost can be off-set due to increased quality of care, leading to increased reimbursements from regulating bodies and reduction of length of stay, hospital acquired conditions/complications, and reduced staff turnover. This change has a great cost-saving possibility in the long-term aspect. Engagement of staff and decision makers is essential for the practice change to be implemented and for it to continue. This can be accomplished through councils, committees, learning sessions/CEUs. Engagement has been proven to have positive effects with most practice changes being implemented, also implementing these changes gradually has been shown to deliver positive results (How to Overcome Barriers in Evidence-Based Practice,2011).
