WORKSHOP

In this workshop, participants will detail strategies for updating curricula, courses, and teaching/learning strategies to prepare nursing workforce at basic and advanced levels for evidence-based quality improvement.

National leaders will lead discussions about essential EBP competencies, revision of basic and graduate curricula and courses, implications of new program trends (e.g., DNP) for nursing education, and how to teach EBP. Participants will learn about new online resources for assessing EBP learning needs and for teaching EBP.

NEW: Selected abstracts will be included in "Teaching Strategies from Across the Nation" that later will be published online. (See ACESTAR website for Call for Teaching Strategy Abstracts.)

WORKSHOP

In this new pre conference, clinicians will develop library search skills to locate evidence that is useful in evidence-based quality improvement. Hands-on clinically relevant search skills will focus on locating systematic reviews and clinical practice guidelines.

Associates of the Academic Center for Evidence-Based Practice and Briscoe Library, UTHSCSA will discuss why bibliographic databases are limited in EBP, new EBP approaches (such as hedges), fine-tuning familiar approaches (such as CINAHL and Google) for EBP, and the role of the knowledge broker in clinical practice.  Librarians and clinicians will guide hands-on skill development in constructing productive literature searches in CINAHL.

LIMIT: 40 participants

WORKSHOP

Highly recommended for those new to the Summer Institutes.  The Institute is organized around the framework that is introduced here. This content will be covered in depth only in this session.  A perfect place for your EBP Team to begin building toward employing EBP.

Associates of the Academic Center for Evidence-Based Practice will present the fundamentals of EBP needed for a basis and will explore how principles are applied through multiple examples.

This day focuses on evidence as the core of safety and quality.  Leaders share the national vision for transparent healthcare systems that deliver safe and effective care.  Evidence and application are emphasized through case studies of specific clinical topics in evidence-based quality improvement.

Concurrent Sessions: Working with the Evidence
These workshops develop skills in locating and interpreting various forms of knowledge essential in EBP including systematic reviews, evidence-based clinical practice guidelines, and quality outcomes. Using high priority clinical issues, emphasis is on QI processes, covering details about how evidence and indicators guide improvement in health outcomes.  Discussions focus on the form of evidence, where to locate it, how it is produced, interpreting and critically appraising it, credibility of the evidence (e.g., rigor), and development of participants’ Action Plans.

Workshop: Teamwork Principles for Quality and Safety

This train-the-trainer workshop will introduce participants to the powerful team training program and tools developed through an AHRQ grant through Department of Defense (DOD).  The goal of TeamSTEPPS is to produce highly effective healthcare teams that optimize the use of information, people, and resources to achieve the best clinical outcomes for patients.

TeamSTEPPS is scientifically rooted in over 20 years of research and lessons learned from the application of teamwork principles in High-Reliability Organizations (HRO). An overview session will be followed by facilitated small group work led by TeamSTEPPS Master Instructors.  Participants will take home training materials, resources, and an action plan for their own agency.
