NUR 550 Topic 5: Translating Evidence Into Practice To Improve Safety And Quality And Eliminate Barriers
Objectives:
Explain how translational research can be used for safety and quality improvement initiatives related to improving population health.
Discuss common barriers for translating research into practice.
—>
Translational research is the process of taking research findings from basic science or clinical trials and translating them into practical applications for use in real-world settings. In the context of safety and quality improvement initiatives related to improving population health, translational research can be used to identify and implement evidence-based interventions that have been shown to be effective in improving health outcomes for specific populations. For example, a study may identify a specific risk factor for a certain disease, and translational research could be used to develop and implement an intervention aimed at reducing that risk factor and ultimately improving health outcomes.
Common barriers for translating research into practice include lack of funding, lack of awareness of the research findings, lack of training on implementation of the intervention, lack of buy-in from stakeholders such as healthcare providers, and lack of infrastructure to support the implementation of the intervention. Other barriers may include lack of standardization in the way the research is conducted and lack of a clear understanding of the cost-benefit of the intervention. To overcome these barriers, it is important to involve stakeholders in the research process, provide training and support for implementation, and clearly communicate the potential benefits of the intervention.
The Influence of Social Determinants of Health in Technology
WEEK EIGHT INSTRUCTIONS
Social determinants of health can be categorized into five distinct areas: economics, education, healthcare access and quality, environment, and social/community. These five areas can be widely varied resulting in healthcare disparity. These disparities highlight that “healthy choices” are not enough, rather these disparities must be understood and addressed to improve these disparities.
How might these disparities impact your healthcare organization or nursing practice? How might you analyze the impact and influence of social determinants of health on technology? Why is this analysis important to your healthcare organization or nursing practice?
This week, you will examine the social determinants of health in technology. You will explore your understanding of health literacy and examine potential impacts on your healthcare organization or nursing practice. You will also consider and recommend strategies to overcome barriers and challenges related to these social determinants.
Social determinants of health can greatly impact healthcare organizations and nursing practice by creating disparities in access to and utilization of technology. These disparities can be seen in a variety of ways, such as:
Economic disparities: Individuals with lower income or living in poverty may not have access to the same technology or internet access
Topic 5 DQ 1
Assessment Description
Identify either a safety or quality improvement initiative related to improving population health. Explain how translational research can influence the development of the initiative. Include a specific example to support your response.
Topic 5 DQ 2
Assessment Description
Identify a quality initiative from your workplace. What were some barriers to implementation? What are common barriers for translating research into practice?
Evidence-Based Practice Project: Assessment of Literature Table
Assessment Description
The purpose of this assignment is to provide research evidence in support of the PICOT you developed for your selected topic.
Conduct a search for 10 peer-reviewed, translational research articles published within the last 5 years that demonstrate support for your PICOT. You may include previous research articles from assignments completed in this course. Use the “Literature Assessment Table” provided to evaluate the articles and explain how the research supports your PICOT.
Once your instructor returns this assignment, review the feedback and make any revisions necessary. If you are directed by your instructor to select different articles in order to meet the assignment criteria or to better support your PICOT, make these changes accordingly. You will use the literature evaluated in this assignment for all subsequent assignments you develop as part of your evidence-based practice project proposal in this course and in NUR-590, during which you will synthesize all of the sections into a final written paper detailing your evidence-based practice project proposal.
Refer to the “Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal – Assignment Overview” document for an overview of the evidence-based practice project proposal assignments.
While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
You are not required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.
