Melnyk, Fineout-Overhold, Gallagher-Ford, and Stillwell (2011) describe how the EBP team at the hospital scheduled a series of presentations to introduce the new RRT policy by rotating the days and times of the in-service to capture as many direct care clinicians as possible so that all clinicians are educated on the new policy. Also, each hospital unit is asked to appoint a volunteer to deliver the presentation to any clinicians who missed it. Posters are created, and buttons designed as visual triggers to remind staff to implement the new policy. Melnyk et al. (2011) state that dissemination of evidence alone doesn’t typically lead clinicians to make a sustainable change to EBP, but having unit-based champions reinforce the new policy would help.
