Point-of Care Scholars Program 12-month EBP program for nursing and allied health employees 2 cohorts/year, 12-20 per cohort 8 hours per week dedicated to program Desired outcomes Scholar gains EBP skill set and enriches home unit by assisting others Critical appraisal of literature, resulting in: Practice/policy change when evidence is supportive (& QI skills to support implementation) Small research study when more evidence is needed Best Evidence Statement (BESt) and/or publication of findings
Additional supporting structures Unit-based councils Hospital-level councils for RNs and APNs Grand Rounds Consultations with nurse scientists Center for Clinical and Translational Science (NIH CTSA)
Challenges Limited RN knowledge/skills/attitudes regarding QSEN competencies View of bedside RN as subject matter expert but not a team leader Scarce RN time and competing priorities
Opportunities Implementation/continuation of programming to developing and reinforce QSEN competencies Nursing orientation/residencies Dissemination of RCIC/I2S2/POCS knowledge at unit level
