Too Tired? Too Anxious? Need More Time? We’ve got your back.
The EBP project focused on teaching nurses how and why to properly educate patients in the preoperative area (immediately prior to having surgery).
An evidence-based Practice (EBP) Council is an inter-professional team that is changed with improving patient care through changes in processes and protocols. Typically these teams are represented by members of nursing leadership, nurse educators, quality improvement representatives and staff nurses.
For this assignment, discuss how each of these team members (Perioperative leadership, Perioperative education, and preoperative nursing staff) could be actively involved in problem solving and action planning for the dissemination of the contents of your EBP project. Devise a mission statement for the team. Consider Tuckman’s five stages of group development in building an effective team: Forming, Storming, Norming Performing, and Adjourning. Provide a description of each phase and discuss possible facilitative and potentially obstructive behaviors for teamwork within each of these stages.
Mission statement must include: (1)Target audience of EBP (preoperative nursing staff)
(2)The contribution of the EBP PROJECT IDEA (educating patients to help them make informed decisions and possibly avoid future turmoil).
(3) What makes the project valuable to internal and external stake holders.
