Introduction

In healthcare organizations, effective communication of evidence-based practice changes is crucial for improving patient outcomes and quality of care. This presentation aims to compare various dissemination strategies, highlighting both recommended approaches and those to avoid. Our objective is to facilitate the successful adoption of evidence-based practices in our organization (Jensen & Gerber, 2020).

Recommended Dissemination Strategies

Strategy 1: Interactive Workshops

Interactive workshops foster active participation, collaboration, and skill-building among staff. This approach is effective because it allows for immediate feedback, peer learning, and practical skill development (Dang et al., 2021).

Strategy 2: Webinars and E-Learning

Webinars and e-learning platforms offer flexibility, enabling staff to access training materials at their convenience. This strategy is effective as it accommodates busy schedules and supports self-paced learning (Cullen et al., 2022).

Least Inclined Strategies to Recommend

Strategy 1: Mass Emails

Mass emails can be easily ignored, overlooked, or lost in a cluttered inbox. This strategy is not suitable as it lacks interactivity and engagement (Chapman et al., 2020).

Strategy 2: Lengthy Paper Manuals

Lengthy paper manuals are often overwhelming and may not be user-friendly. This strategy is not suitable as it does not facilitate active learning and may discourage staff participation (Arul et al., 2021).

Barriers to Recommended Strategies

Barrier 1: Staff Resistance

Barrier 2: Limited Technological Proficiency

Overcoming Barriers

Overcoming Barrier 1 (Staff Resistance)

Conducting small group discussions to address concerns and misconceptions, and sharing success stories and data on improved patient outcomes from evidence-based practices can help overcome staff resistance (Dang et al., 2021).

Overcoming Barrier 2 (Limited Technological Proficiency)

Providing step-by-step tutorials and technical support for online training, as well as offering in-person training sessions for staff members uncomfortable with technology, can help overcome limited technological proficiency (Jensen & Gerber, 2020).
