Knowing your health care system at local level is very
important for nurses. As a nurse, you have to know your patient
population. Are there cultural influences? Are there language
barriers? Monetary barriers? Lack of insurance coverage? What
type of EBP would benefit that population the most with the

investigate your population, knowing what your local and public
resources have, help to give a foundation to build the EBP on. It
helps contributes in resources your patients can go back to and

Re:Topic 4 DQ 1
For better patient outcomes, new knowledge must be
transformed into clinically useful forms, effectively
implemented across the entire care team within system context
and measured in terms of meaningful impact on performance
and health outcomes. The entry of EBP onto the health care
improvement scene constituted a major paradigm shift .This
shift was apparent in the way nurses began to think about
research results. The way nurses framed the context for
improvement and the way nurses employed change to transform
health care (Stevens,Kathleen.,May 2013). It is important to
understand the local health care system prior to implement the
change so they can better educate the staff and prepare the
facility to transform to the change with all supplies for the
EBP.
My mentor focused to reduce the turnover of the nurses by
keeping team work and good professional relationship and
communication with colleagues specially new graduates and
new hired nurses .She advised that helping them in emergency
situation will help to alleviate the stress and anxiety and which
can reduce turnover . When health care professionals are not
communicating effectively, patient safety is at risk for several
reasons: lack of critical information, misinterpretation of
information, unclear orders over the telephone, and overlooked
changes in status. Effective teams are characterized by trust,
respect, and collaboration. Deming 8 is one of the greatest
proponents of teamwork. Teamwork, he believes, is endemic to
a system in which all employees are working for the good of a
goal, who have a common aim, and who work together to
achieve that aim. When considering a teamwork model in health
care, an interdisciplinary approach should be applied. Unlike a
multidisciplinary approach, in which each team member is
responsible only for the activities related to his or her own
discipline and formulates separate goals for the patient, an
interdisciplinary approach coalesces a joint effort on behalf of

3. the patient with a common goal from all disciplines involved in
the care plan (O’Danielet.al ). higher level of teamwork and
perceptions of adequate staffing leads to greater job satisfaction
with current position and occupation. Increasing satisfaction
would likely result in cost savings since high job satisfaction is
linked to lower turnover (Hayes et al .,2006).
