STM publisher Elsevier will announce the results of a second national study launched in collaboration with the Association for Nursing Professional Development (ANPD) and the Ohio State University College of Nursing (OSU CON) on evidence-based practice in nursing. The announcement will be made during a general session at the ANPD Annual Convention, July 19-22, in Pittsburgh, PA.
The results of the survey, 'Evidence-based Practice and U.S. Healthcare Outcomes: Findings from a National Survey with Nursing Professional Development Practitioners,' will focus on evidence-based practice (EBP) beliefs, implementation and perceived organisational culture in nursing professional development practitioners, and determine relationships among these variables and a variety of critical healthcare outcomes. The survey results will be presented by Michelle Troseth, Chief Professional Practice Officer, Elsevier Clinical Solutions; Lynn Gallagher-Ford, Director of the Center for Transdisciplinary Evidence-based Practice, OSU CON; Mary Harper, Director of Nursing Professional Development, ANPD; and Joan Warren, ANPD President.
This survey is the second time OSU CON has collaborated with Elsevier Clinical Solutions to provide insights for leaders on how to advance EBP for healthcare. The first study, which focused on chief nurse executives found that, despite patient safety and quality being top strategic initiatives for their organisations, the implementation of EBP was relatively low, with more than one-third not meeting national benchmarks for key performance metrics.
As Diamond Sponsor, Elsevier Clinical Solutions will also host a welcome reception on July 19, and breakfast on July 20, entitled, "Pathways to Success for a Clinical and Professional Residency." Elsevier is also sponsoring a preceptor session, "Fostering Reflective Practice among Novice Nurses: A Critical Role for Preceptors."
To support Elsevier's sponsorship, the company will implement a robust marketing and social media plan that includes a specially-created landing page that offers several case study downloads on learning and competency management, patient engagement, clinical practice, and clinical reference; an Elsevier Twitter hashtag for the convention, #ElsevierAspires to complement the ANPD convention hashtag, #ANPDAspire2016; and Elsevier booth activities (Booth 301) including giveaways and featuring an interactive wall at which conference attendees can post aspirations they have for their teams on an #ElsevierAspires word art collage.
