Abstract
Background: The Spanish Best Practice Guidelines (BPG) Implementation Project is part of the Best Practice Spotlight Organizations international program, coordinated by the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO).
Aims: To influence the uptake of nursing BPG across healthcare organizations, to enable practice excellence and positive client outcomes.
Methods: After translating the RNAO's BPG into Spanish, the Host Organization published a formal call for proposals to select healthcare settings in Spain to implement the RNAO's BPG and evaluate the results. The approach is nursing-led and multidisciplinary; context specific; and involving a wide range of stakeholders. The implementation of BPG Toolkit guides the process: cascade training, selection of recommendations to be implemented, 3 years of planned implementation activities, monitoring of process and outcome results for patients discharged 60 days every year. The Host Organization supports healthcare settings selected.
Results/discussion: The first call was launched in 2012. Eight healthcare settings (11 sites), serving 1.3 million people, were selected (hospitals and primary healthcare centers). They chose 10 BPG, according to their needs. In 2015 and 2018, 16 more healthcare settings have joined the program with a total of 263 sites. And in 2019, three complete regions will join the program as a regional host. Currently, more than 3200 nurses and 40 other healthcare professionals have been trained, evidence-based protocols have been developed or updated, patient education has been promoted, and international Best Practice Spotlight Organizations indicators have been evaluated in an electronic platform.
Conclusion: The results obtained acknowledge that the RNAO implementation method could be replicated with success internationally. The strategies based on local context have worked and we have consolidated a network that shares knowledge and strategies and promotes evidence-based culture among Spanish healthcare settings and evidence-based care to patients.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Evidence-Based Healthcare is the official journal of the Joanna Briggs Institute. It is a fully refereed journal that publishes manuscripts relating to evidence-based medicine and evidence-based practice. It publishes papers containing reliable evidence to assist health professionals in their evaluation and decision-making, and to inform health professionals, students and researchers of outcomes, debates and developments in evidence-based medicine and healthcare.
The journal provides a unique home for publication of systematic reviews (quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods, economic, scoping and prevalence) and implementation projects including the synthesis, transfer and utilisation of evidence in clinical practice. Original scholarly work relating to the synthesis (translation science), transfer (distribution) and utilization (implementation science and evaluation) of evidence to inform multidisciplinary healthcare practice is considered for publication. The journal also publishes original scholarly commentary pieces relating to the generation and synthesis of evidence for practice and quality improvement, the use and evaluation of evidence in practice, and the process of conducting systematic reviews (methodology) which covers quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods, economic, scoping and prevalence methods. In addition, the journal’s content includes implementation projects including the transfer and utilisation of evidence in clinical practice as well as providing a forum for the debate of issues surrounding evidence-based healthcare.
