Northcross General Hospital just hired Emily as its new Quality Improvement/Evidence-Based Practice Director. To improve outcomes at the hospital, the administrators have asked Emily to establish the biggest issues facing patient care practices, research ways for improvement, and create a plan of action to apply improved practices. After performing many chart audits, Emily has found that the patients of Northcross General Hospital are slow to heal pressure ulcers, and she has found inconsistency in the way that the nurses are charting and performing dressing changes to these wounds. She has established that outcomes for pressure ulcer wound healing could be improved through using best practices.
Questions:
- How will Emily ensure that the best practices are being used?
