Advances in Patient Safety: From Research to Implementation. Rockville, MD: Agency for Healthcare and Research Quality; 2005. By Deborah Carpenter, Veronica Nieva, Tarek Albaghal, and Joann Sorra (Westat) Contents • • • • • • • • • • Purpose Components of a Dissemination Plan Instructions I. Specifying Research Findings and Products: What You Intend to Disseminate II. Identifying End Users III. Working with Dissemination Partners IV. Communicating Your Message V. Evaluating Success Developing a Summary VI. Dissemination Work Plan Purpose AHRQ is increasingly interested in research that has “real world” impact in the practice of health care. This tool will help you, the Patient Safety Researcher, develop a plan for disseminating your research findings and products to potential users in the health care system. This tool is designed to prompt your thinking about the processes that you would use to disseminate your findings or products, beyond publishing and presenting in peer-reviewed venues. This tool will ask you to identify the aspects of your research that are ready for dissemination, and to think about who could benefit from your findings or products. It will also encourage you to consider various ways to reach these users—establishing direct links as well as working through intermediary organizations, or tapping into existing networks. Return to Contents Components of a Dissemination Plan Developing a dissemination plan will facilitate the translation of your research into practice. Your dissemination plan will include six major elements: I. Research findings and products—What is going to be disseminated? II. End users—Who will apply it in practice? III. Dissemination partners—Individuals, organizations or networks through whom you can reach end users? IV. Communication—How you convey the research outcomes? V. Evaluation—How you determine what worked? VI. Dissemination work plan—Where you start? Go to Figure 1 for graphic illustration. Figure 1. Return to Contents Instructions Select one research finding or product that you expect to be particularly important in improving patient safety, and that is ready for dissemination. You may want to complete the tool separately if you have several findings or products to disseminate. For each component of a dissemination plan, you will answer a few key questions about the selected finding or product. At the end, you will integrate your responses into an overall strategy and workplan. • Don’t be discouraged if at first you cannot answer every question in this planning tool; the questions serve as prompts to consider these elements in the future as your dissemination effort evolves. • • Consider this a working document to help you think through the steps you will need to take to get the word out about your research finding or product. This may take a few iterations! You may want to work back and forth between questions as your thinking develops. You may do a first pass at the tool, and revisit it after a few days. You may also want to ask for input from others. Return to Contents I. Specifying Research Findings and Products: What You Intend to Disseminate Draw the boundary around your research finding or product as broadly or as narrowly as you wish, depending on your dissemination aims. Be specific. The more concrete you can be in defining your finding or product, the easier it will be to complete the tool. For example, • • You may want to disseminate 1) an event reporting system as a large product or 2) separately disseminate the taxonomy, measuring tools, or data analytic methods that you developed as smaller aspects of the reporting system. You may want to disseminate a best practice guideline, a curriculum that you developed around the practice, or research findings on outcomes resulting from adoption of these guidelines. 1. Describe the research finding or product you wish to disseminate. You may want to start by listing your major findings and products, then select one major finding or product for dissemination. For example—A decision support device, an educational curriculum, data collection tool, etc. 2. What problems related to safety in patient care does your research finding or product address? 3. What makes your research finding or product stand out? For example—Is it an innovative way to tackle an existing problem? Does it identify a new problem? Does it support or contradict current practices? Issues to consider in selection what to disseminate: • • • • • Think about the pros and cons of disseminating portions of the research vs. all related products and findings. Different end users (e.g. policymakers and health care providers) may be interested in different aspects of the research. Is your research finding ready for dissemination? How strong is the evidence on your research findings? How generalizable are your findings? How does your research finding/product conform to current procedures? What additional research (for a finding) or testing (for a product) would be needed before launching a dissemination effort? Return to Contents II. Identifying End Users End users are individuals, health care professionals, or delivery organizations that could benefit from and use your research finding or product. These end users are the ultimate target for your dissemination efforts. Specifying your target audience and their needs will provide focus for your dissemination plan and will help you tailor your offering to their needs. 1. List the end users for your research finding or product. Be as specific as possible. You may want to specify health care settings as well as types of clinicians or administrators. For example—ICU nurses, family physicians, hospital administrators, blood bankers, medical schools, doctors’ offices. 2. Describe how your research finding or product is useful to your end users. Why would they want to use your finding or product? For example—does it increase efficiency? Improve quality of care? Provide legal protection? 3. What recent or future events might help or hinder end user interest in your finding or product? 4. Have you involved these end users in your research project? How? How can you involve them at this point? For example—Have nurses evaluate the use of an infusion pump. 5. What barriers might your end users face in trying to implement your finding or product? What suggestions might you have for overcoming these barriers? Return to Contents III. Working with Dissemination Partners You do not have to work alone to reach your end users! Consider working with professionals who are trusted opinion leaders and are influential in their fields. Think about formal and informal networks that you can tap into to spread the word about your research findings or products. Consider also how you might develop working partnerships with organizations to which your end users belong, or that can influence them through their credibility, expertise, or licensing powers. These individuals and organizations can serve as dissemination intermediaries, amplifying your reach into your target audiences. • • • Think about opinion leaders in your professional community who might be interested in spreading the word about your research. Informal networks and colleagues may be useful dissemination partners. Organizational dissemination partners could include quality improvement organizations, professional groups of your target audience, accreditation or licensing boards, or health care delivery associations. 1. List individuals, organizations, and informal networks who might partner with you in translating and communicating your research findings or products to your end users. Note how they are important to reaching particular end users. End users For example: Family Physicians Quality Managers Pharmacists Individual/Organizations/Networks Importance of end users Dr. Sheila Smith, a trusted colleague Professional credibility Institute for Healthcare Improvement Quality improvement expertise United States Pharmacopoeia Established standards for medications 2. How does your research finding or product fit with and advance the mission and goals of these parties? Why would they want to work with you? What recent/future events might help or hinder their willingness to work with you? 3. What characteristics of your finding or product would appeal to each of these potential dissemination partners? 4. How can you develop an ongoing relationship with these potential dissemination partners? How would you work with them so that your research finding or product is included in their communication channels, and/or tailored to their health delivery systems? Issues to consider about dissemination partners: • • • • How will you reach the professional opinion leaders? Do you work with anyone who can link you up with them? How will you work with organizational partners? Do you have a personal contact, have you reviewed their Web sites, their standard publications, and annual reports? What materials might you prepare for their use? Do you need different partners to reach different end users? How can you use partners existing informal networks to reach end users? Return to Contents IV. Communicating Your Message Effective dissemination relies on the use of varied channels—e.g., publications and reports, Web sites and other electronic communications, meetings and conferences, person-to-person communications, formal collaborations or information networks. Consider what methods and channels you might use to bring your research finding or product directly to your end users or partners. Consider also how your dissemination partners communicate regularly with their constituencies—your end users. How you might use their channels to disseminate your finding or product? You should consider all of these channels to ensure that the widest possible audience is exposed to your research finding or product and in ways that are both accessible and easy-to-use. Cost and cost-effectiveness are obviously important considerations in choosing the right medium. Your end users could obtain information about research findings, products, or innovations in health care through various means. Optimally, you will need to use a combination of methods to reach end users. Personal contact Broadcast media • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Academic journals Book chapters Technical reports Trade magazines Regular newspapers Special interest newsletters Radio or TV interviews Interest group listservs Web sites Academic detailing Clinical specialty associations Informal professional networks Professional conferences Professional meetings (e.g., grand rounds) Workshops and other CME/CNE training Participating in improvement collaboratives or test beds 1. How do you think your end users obtain information about health care innovations? Which of the methods above would be effective channels to reach them? What combinations of methods could reinforce your message? 2. Which of these methods could you realistically use to reach your end users? 3. Which methods do your potential dissemination partners use to communicate with your end users? Which ones could be used as channels for your research finding or product? 4. What difficulties might end users have with the methods of communication used, and how could you plan to overcome those difficulties? Issues to consider about communicating your message: • • What materials might you provide to potential dissemination partners about your research? How can you frame your research results to make them relevant to your partners’ agenda? How will you tailor your materials and message to adapt to their ways of communicating with your end users? Return to Contents V. Evaluating Success Evaluating the success of your dissemination efforts is an iterative process. Once you have begun to disseminate your research finding or product, consider how you might evaluate the effect that your dissemination strategies have on getting your message to end users. Dissemination is not a one-time activity; rather, it is a long-term relationship with your users that will provide ongoing feedback to help you improve your message. 1. How will you know if you have met your dissemination goals? What are your success criteria? Are there measurable indicators for these criteria? For example—Number of physicians reached, responses to advertisements, number of Web site hits, number of inquiries received. 2. How will you involve end users in evaluating the dissemination activities? For example—Obtaining feedback on how easy the research product was to use, what was needed to translate research findings into practice in their setting. 3. How will you involve end users in evaluating the dissemination activities? Issues to consider in evaluating success of the dissemination effort: • • • What are ways that you can measure the success of your dissemination effort? How will you keep in contact with users and potential users? How will you provide feedback to your users and dissemination partners? How will you incorporate their feedback in your future research, product design, and ongoing development? Return to Contents Developing A Summary After you have considered the components of your dissemination plan, use the last page to write a summary of 100-200 words that outlines your basic plan, based on the structure in this planning tool, by completing the following statements. • • • • • • • • My research finding or product is _________________________________________________ .

use but like many things in healthcare there are factors that could change the results of the anticipated success. “A variable in research simply refers to a person, place, thing, or phenomenon that you are trying to measure in some way” (The first variable that needs to be evaluated is staff participation. Education given at each meeting is vital to keeping staff involved in the project and should make them want to succeed for themselves and the company. If staff are not completing the rounding properly, clustering patient care and attending to their needs while in the room, the results will be inaccurate and may not prove that rounding helps keep patients safe and happy.

Patients also need to be aware of hourly rounding so they can have positive perceptions of their care after discharge. It is encouraged to educate patients at the beginning of each shift telling them that staff will be in to check on them by performing regular intentional. Performing teach back with patients ensures that education delivered was received. Using specific verbiage with patients will help remind them that rounding is taking place, an example would be “I am here to round on you, are you in pain? Let me take you to the bathroom while I’m here, which belongings would you like at your bedside? Let me clear your room of any clutter or throw away any garbage while I’m here.”

Another variable identified is staff turnover. This variable can be appropriate for many healthcare projects. Turnover is a variable that one cannot predict. Ensuring that new hires are properly trained and educated in the expectations of the unit and use of intentional rounding will help to decrease the effects of this variable although they are certainly times during significant turnover that this may also become a factor.

2————–The most significant results come from studies that are statistically and clinically significant (Grove, Gray, & Burns, 2015). “Significant results agree with those predicted by the researcher and support the logical links developed by the researcher among the framework, study questions, hypotheses, variables, and measurement tools” (Grove et al., 2015, p. 353). However, the significance is determined by what is learned by the project, and the significance of a research project may not be seen for years, according to Grove et al. (2015). Sometimes it takes multiple studies to prove the significance of a hypothesis or research question. Sometimes studies may have errors or have too small of a sample size to show statistical significance, and when the study is performed again to account for errors or bias, it can show statistical significance.

“Clinical importance is related to the practical relevance of the findings”, according to Grove et al. (2015, p. 355). Sometimes studies may not have statistical significance, but the researcher can use the information he or she learns from the study, which can be clinically significant. Sometimes studies that are statistically significant for one population may not be clinically significant for a practice, because the patient population is different. According to Ranganathan, Pramesh, & Buyse (2015), “…it is the judgment of the clinician (and the patient) which decides whether a result is clinically significant or not” (p. 170).

When looking at SBIRT (screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment), not all studies showed statistically significant results for providing referrals to treatment. This provides a learning opportunity for the researcher and does show clinical significance. If results are accurate, these studies can help the researcher learn more about the topic, for example, there are barriers for care. Patients are lost to follow up due to confidentiality of records, so researchers could not always verify the patient completed the referral to treatment. At Indian Health Council, patients decline referrals for treatment, and if the patient is referred outside to a behavioral health counselor, the clinic is not able to verify if the patient kept an appointment due to confidentiality. What the researcher has learned is to have the patient sign a release of information at the behavioral health counselor’s office to obtain the record, and that many patients do not follow through with behavioral health referrals. What research has shown is that brief interventions are one of the most important areas to focus on for SBIRT to be effective. Another important fact is that there are many barriers to providing SBIRT in a practice, and the researcher can share what the best practices are. This can allow a practice to pilot these best practices to see what impact it has on the patients in the facility.

Working with Families    Working with families has never been more complex or rewarding than now. Nurses understand the actual and potential impact that families have in changing the health status of individual family members, communities, and society as a whole. Families have challenging health care needs that are not usually addressed by the health care system. . Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007, 2001, 1997, 1993 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 2 How Do You Define a Family? Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007, 2001, 1997, 1993 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 3 Definitions of a Family Historical definitions:  The environment affecting individual clients  Small to large groups of interacting people  A single unit of care with definable boundaries  A unit of care within a specific environment of a community or society Current theorists:  Two or more individuals who depend on one another for emotional, physical, and economic support. Members of family are self-defined. – Hanson & Kaakimen (2005)  The family is who they say they are. – Wright & Leahey (2000) Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007, 2001, 1997, 1993 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 4 Inclusive Definitions of Family “Family” means any person(s) playing a significant role in an individual’s life. This may include person(s) not legally related to the individual. Members of “family” include spouses, domestic partners, and both differentsex and same-sex significant others. “Family” includes a minor patient’s parents, regardless of gender of either parent … without limitation as encompassing legal parents, foster parents, same-sex parent, step-parents, those serving in loco parentis, and others operating in caretaker roles. – Human Rights Campaign ( 2009) Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007, 2001, 1997, 1993 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 5 The Changing Family  Purposes of the family ➢ ➢  To meet the needs of society To meet the needs of individual family members Examples of different family types ➢ Traditional, nuclear family ➢ Multigenerational family household ➢ Cohabitating families ➢ Single-parent families ➢ Grandparent-headed families ➢ Gay or lesbian families ➢ Unmarried teen mothers Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007, 2001, 1997, 1993 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 6 The “Sandwich” Generation Figure 20-1 From Pew Research Center: Social and Demographic Trends: The Sandwich Generation. http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2013/01/30/the-sandwich-generation/.

Any dysfunction in a family unit will affect the members and the unit as a whole. Case finding can identify a health problem that leads to risks for the entire family. Nursing care can be improved by providing holistic care to the family and its members. – Friedman, Bowden, & Jones (2003) Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007, 2001, 1997, 1993 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 8 Approaches to Meeting the Health Needs of Families Moving from the Individual to the Family Moving from the Family to the Community Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007, 2001, 1997, 1993 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 9 Moving from the Individual to the Family  Family interviewing ➢ Manners ➢ Therapeutic conversations ➢ Genogram and Ecomap ➢ Therapeutic questions ➢ Commending family or individual strengths ➢ Issues in family interviewing • Many locations, family informant, family health portrait, involvement of children  Intervention in cases of chronic illness Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007, 2001, 1997, 1993 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 10 Moving from the Family to the Community       The health of communities is measured by the well-being of its people and families. Families are components of communities. Cross-comparison of communities must include health needs as well as resources. Cross-compare the needs of the families within the community and set priorities. Delegation of scarce resources is essential. A double standard in public health is tolerated. Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007, 2001, 1997, 1993 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 11 Family Theory Approach 1. Any “dysfunction” that affects one member will probably affect others and the family as a whole. 2. The family’s wellness is highly dependent on the role of the family in every aspect of health care. 3. The level of wellness of the whole family can be raised by reducing lifestyle and environmental risks by emphasizing health promotion, self-care, health education, and family counseling. Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007, 2001, 1997, 1993 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 12 Family Theory Approach (Cont.) 4. Commonalities in risk factors and diseases shared by family members can lead to case finding within family. 5. Individual is assessed within larger context of family. 6. Family is vital support system to individual member. – Friedman (1994) Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007, 2001, 1997, 1993 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 13 Systems Theory Approach The family as a unit interacts with larger units outside the family (suprasystem) and with smaller units inside the family (subsystem). – Friedman (1998) Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007, 2001, 1997, 1993 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 14 Healthy Families     Members interact with each other; listen and communicate repeatedly in many contexts. Healthy families establish priorities. Members understand that family needs are the priority. Healthy families affirm, support, and respect each other. Members engage in flexible role relationships, share power, respond to change, support the growth/autonomy of others, and engage in decision making that affects them. – DeFrain (1999) and Montalvo (2004) Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007, 2001, 1997, 1993 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 15 Healthy Families (Cont.)     The family teaches family and societal values and beliefs and shares a religious core. Healthy families foster responsibility and value service to others. Healthy families have a sense of play and humor and share leisure time. Healthy families have the ability to cope with stress and crisis and grow from problems. They know when to seek help from professionals. – DeFrain (1999) and Montalvo (2004) Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007, 2001, 1997, 1993 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 16 Structural-Functional Conceptual Framework  Internal structure ➢  External structure ➢ ➢   Family composition, gender, rank order, functional subsystem, and boundaries Extended family and larger systems (work, health, welfare) Context: ethnicity, race, social class, religion, environment Instrumental functioning (routine ADLs) Expressive functioning ➢ Emotional, verbal, nonverbal, circular communication; problem solving; roles; influence; beliefs; alliances and coalitions Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007, 2001, 1997, 1993 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 17 Developmental Theory  Family life cycle (Duvall & Miller, 1985) ➢ ➢ ➢ ➢ ➢ ➢ ➢ Leaving home Beginning family through marriage or commitment as a couple relationship Parenting the first child Living with adolescent Launching family (youngest child leaves home) Middle-age family (remaining marital dyad to retirement) Aging family (from retirement to death of both spouses) Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007, 2001, 1997, 1993 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 18 Family Health Assessment Tools  Genogram ➢  Family health tree ➢  A tool that helps the nurse outline the family’s structure Family’s medical and health histories Ecomap ➢ Depicts a family’s linkages to their suprasystems Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007, 2001, 1997, 1993 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 19 Family Health Assessment Tools  Family Health Assessment ➢ Addresses family characteristics, including structure and process and family environment ➢ Information obtained through interviews with one or more family members, subsystems within the family, or group interviews of more than two members of the family ➢ Additional information obtained through observation of family and their environment Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007, 2001, 1997, 1993 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 20 Genogram Figure 20-2 Redrawn from Genopro Software: Symbols used in genograms, 2009: www.genopro.com.

surprise to me that the score increased. I have developed a better understanding of the value of informatics and its importance as a driving force in changing the way nursing is done. I will take with me the knowledge that evidence-based practice is based on the intake of quality data; ensuring that the integrity of data collected is of the utmost importance to the development of quality care (Chamberlain Lesson week 8, 2019). Moving forward in my practice I intend to encourage the use of standardized charting. When terminology has been standardized health data can be reused to improve safety, and efficiency, improve care processes, engage patients in their care and assist with coordination of care for both individuals and populations (Khokhar et. Al, 2017).

Knowledge, skills, and attributes I have gained through ought this course have helped me to understand the benefits of technology to patient outcomes and quality care. Honestly, I have never been a fan of computer charting and at times wished to go back to the days of paper charts, as that is what was utilized when I first entered the profession. I tend to feel the most comfortable here, however, I am now better able to see the infinite possibility of potential benefit to patient outcomes and nursing practice. It is true it is not until you step out of your comfort zone that you grow.

I am excited now to share what I have learned with my peers, while I do not wish to do research in any manner; I don’t think I would mind providing education to other nurses regarding the systems we currently utilize. I think that moving forward in my career this will be of tremendous benefit to my nursing practice. It truly is amazing how knowledge changes attitudes.
