Pre-Conference Workshops |
|
Workshop 1 |
Designing and Implementing Innovative Advanced Practice Nurse Roles: Strategies for Role Success. Workshop - Full & Wait List Started |
This interactive workshop will provide participants with “hands on” experience in applying systematic and evidence-informed approaches for developing and implementing advanced practice nursing (APN) roles. Two areas will be the primary focus of this workshop: 1) establishing the need for a well-defined APN role and 2) role implementation planning. Role implementation strategies will address issues such as administrative support, recruitment and retention, APN education, polices to support APN scope of practice, and stakeholder role understanding and acceptance. Through presentations, case studies, and small and large group activities, participants will learn about how to apply “state of the art” evidence and tools for the successful development and implementation of APN roles. |
|
Workshop 2 |
Evidence-Based Nursing: Strategies for Quickly Finding the Best Evidence |
| This interactive workshop will provide an introductory overview of evidence-based nursing, outline the formulation of “searchable” qualitative and quantitative questions to inform clinical practice, and demonstrate searches for “best evidence” using web-based electronic resources and guided by the hierarchy of preprocessed evidence. A health sciences librarian will use clinical questions of relevance to nursing to demonstrate key electronic resources. We will begin the session by identifying specific learning needs of the workshop participants related to question formulation and electronic searching of the literature and will tailor the workshop to address those needs. Participants will be actively engaged throughout the morning. | |
Workshop 3 |
New Approaches to Evaluating Advanced Practice Nursing Roles Workshop - Full & Wait List Started |
This interactive workshop will provide participants with “hands on” experience in conducting a structure-process-outcome evaluation of new or established advanced practice nursing (APN) roles. Allocation of health care funding for APN roles is often dependent on the ability of administrators and APNs to demonstrate the value added outcomes of these roles. However, there is substantial evidence documenting the positive impact of well-designed APN roles. Thus the real question is not “Are APNs effective?” but “How are APNs most effective?” In other words, for which patient populations and models of care, and under which environmental conditions are APNs most effective for improving patient, health provider, organizational, and health systems outcomes?” This workshop focuses on the importance of evaluation as a strategy for promoting ongoing APN role development and progress in achieving pre-determined outcome based goals. Through presentations, case studies, and small and large group activities, participants will learn about how to plan and implement a formative evaluation of the APN role. |
|
Workshop 4 |
Using Evidence to Change Practice in an Organization |
It is expected that participants attending this session will already have knowledge about what evidence-based nursing is, how to formulate searchable questions, and how to search for pre-processed evidence. This workshop will: 1) focus on the challenges in changing practice in an organization and the factors that predict sustained use of evidence in practice; 2) outline frameworks for changing practice; 3) describe examples of approaches to facilitate EBN in clinical practice. In addition, workshop participants will actively participate in an exercise that permits application of the steps for changing practice. |
