Assignment:

This very important. Northcross General Hospital just hired Emily as its new Quality Improvement/Evidence-Based Practice Director. To improve outcomes at the hospital, the administrators have asked Emily to establish the biggest issues facing patient care practices, research ways for improvement, and create a plan of action to apply improved practices. After performing many chart audits, Emily has found that the patients of Northcross General Hospital are slow to heal pressure ulcers, and she has found inconsistency in the way that the nurses are charting and performing dressing changes to these wounds. She has established that outcomes for pressure ulcer wound healing could be improved through using best practices.

Questions:

What is Emily's next step of action?
Where will Emily find the information regarding evidence-based decision-making in order to find the best practice for healing pressure ulcers?
Once Emily establishes the best practice needed for healing pressure ulcers, what may be her other obstacles?
How will Emily ensure that the best practices are being used?
