Bringing evidence-based practice to the world of staff development, this resource gives staff educators the consistent, objective, and validated tools they need to improve their practice.

Evidence-based practice is becoming the standard across all areas of nursing for improving patient outcomes and quality of care. With an increasing focus on cost-containment and accountability in staff development, it is critical that staff educators learn to use evidence and measurable results to justify and improve their processes. Take your existing staff development programs to the next level can seem an insurmountable task, and many staff educators may not know where to begin. With the help of Evidence-Based Staff Development: Strategies to Create, Measure, and Refine Your Program, your educators will immediately be able to determine:

  • how their services impact the organization,

  • how to use objective evidence to revise their services, and

  • how to demonstrate return on investment.

Using evidence-based practice to provide effective staff education can also strengthen your ANCC Magnet Recognition Program application.

The first of its kind, this practical guide and CD-ROM set will assist educators through the process of gathering data and examining evidence to:

  • Improve or refine existing programs

  • Create future programs

  • Develop an entire new model for staff development

It also provides real-world information on the benefits and challenges, as well as the legal and ethical implications that can arise when designing a staff development program. Take a look at the table of contents:

  • Purpose and rationale for evidence-based staff development practice

  • Overview of the evidence-based practice movement

  • Implications for evidence-based staff development practice

  • Implementation of evidence-based practice in staff development

  • Using evaluation data as part of evidence-based practice in staff development

  • Evidence-based staff development practice and predictions of the future

If used as a teaching tool for your educators, you will be able to implement these learning objectives with this resource:

  • Explain the use of evidence in staff development practice

  • Review sources for gathering data/evidence for staff development practice

  • Summarize the historical issues that contribute to evidence-based staff development practice

  • Discuss the advantages and barriers to evidence-based practice (EBP) in staff development

  • Explain the ethical implications of EBP in staff development

  • Identify legal implications of EBP in staff development

  • Explain how to acquire support from staff, management, and administration for the implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP) in staff development

  • Identify strategies for the implementation of EBP in staff development

  • Explain how EBP in staff development helps to achieve and maintain Magnet status

  • Describe program evaluation data to evidence-based practice (EBP) in staff development

  • Discuss future possibilities for staff development practice

The book also comes with a CD-ROM, full of tools.

Modify any of the forms to fit your needs and print them out for immediate use. Everything on the CD-ROM is ready-to-go, as is, or can be easily customized to suit your facility. Customizable tools and strategies for measuring performance are provided to streamline the implementation.

 

This is the perfect resource for directors of education, staff development specialists, directors of nursing, vice presidents of nursing, chief nursing officers, directors of nursing, nurse managers, and human resource directors.
