DEVELOPING A CULTURE OF EVIDENCED-BASED PRACTICE
For this discussion you will explore strategies for disseminating EBP within your organization, community or industry. EBP practitioners who share their results can both add to the general body of knowledge and serve as an advocate for the application of EBP. Review the resources and reflect on the various strategies presented throughout the course that may be helpful in disseminating effective and widely cited EBP. Some of these strategies might consist of unit-level or organizational-level presentations, poster presentations and podium presentations at organizational, local, regional, state, and national levels, as well as publication in peer-reviewed journals.
POST

- Explain which dissemination strategies you would be least inclined to use and explain why.
- Identify at least two barriers you might encounter when using the dissemination strategies that you are most inclined to present EBP. Be specific and provide examples.
- Explain how you might overcome the barriers you identified.
