QuERY Qu ality Improvement, E vidence Based Practice, R esearch & Y ou Presented by: Karen Gabel Speroni, BSN, MHSA, PhD, RN -Director, Nursing Research & Chair, Research Council Inova Loudoun Hospital & Inova Fair Oaks Hospital: Virginia -Co-Chair, Inova Health System Nursing Research Council: Virginia -Chair, Shore Health System Nursing Research Council: Maryland 11 November 2011 Part 1: QuERY Process Overview

OBJECTIVES Review the QuERY concepts and processes Understand the difference between quality improvement (QI), evidence based practice (EBP) and research Karen Gabel Speroni, 11/11

CULTURE OF INQUIRY –Standard operating procedure –Why do we do what we do –Is there evidence behind it –Patient outcomes –Care delivery Karen Gabel Speroni, 11/11

QUALITY IMPROVEMENT QI: “Systematic, data-guided activities designed to bring about immediate improvement in healthcare delivery in particular settings” (Lynn et al, 2007) –QI / PI: Joint Commission refers to this as PI, or performance improvement Karen Gabel Speroni, 11/11

5 EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE EBP: The conscientious use/integration of the best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient preferences in nursing practice (adapted from Sackett et al., 2000) –EBP is a science-to-service model of engagement of critical thinking to apply research-based evidence (scientific knowledge) and practice-based evidence (art of nursing) within the context of patient values to deliver quality, cost-sensitive care –It is distinguished from practice-based evidence (PBE), a practice-to-science model in which data are derived from interventions thought to be effective but for which empirical evidence is lacking –Providers are engaged in data collection, analysis, and synthesis to inform practice Karen Gabel Speroni, 11/11

6 RESEARCH RESEARCH: A systematic investigation, including research development, testing, and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, n.d., [45 CFR §46.102(d)] [21 CFR§50.3(k)] [21CFR§312.3]) –Research is distinguished from research utilization, the process of synthesizing, disseminating, and using research-generated knowledge to make an impact on, or a change in, the existing practices in society (Burns and Grove, 2005) NURSING RESEARCH: A systematic search for knowledge about issues of importance to the nursing profession (Polit and Hungler, 1995) Karen Gabel Speroni, 11/11

INNOVATION “Innovation” in service delivery and organization [is] a novel set of behaviors, routines, and ways of working that are directed at improving health outcomes, administrative efficiency, cost effectiveness, or users’ experience and that are implemented by planned and coordinated actions” (Greenhalgh, 2004) Karen Gabel Speroni, 11/11

So those were the definitions Karen Gabel Speroni, 11/11

…and these are the interpretations!! Karen Gabel Speroni, 11/11

QI, EBP AND RESEARCH How do you integrate the 3 How do we better understand the differences between the 3 Thru the QuERY process: Qu ality Improvement, E vidence Based Practice, R esearch & Y ou Karen Gabel Speroni, 11/11 Karen Gabel Speroni, 2011 Contact to request permission for

QuERY CONCEPT Developed to help hospital nurses become knowledgeable about each unit’s best –QI activity –EBP project –Research study Provides opportunity for nurses from each hospital unit to showcase their best QI, EBP and research work during the last year –OR, to identify strategic planning needs Through the QUERY work and seminar presentations, hospital nurses are exposed to QI, EBP and research concepts, unit best examples, and unit needs to improve patient outcomes Karen Gabel Speroni, 11/11 Karen Gabel Speroni, 2011 Contact to request permission for

QuERY MECHANICS Units rotate presentation over a one year period Unit directors collaborate with their nurses to determine best QI, EBP and research work done in last year –If not done, then present ideas Unit directors identify nurse champion responsible for leading the work and presenting the work at the QuERY seminar –QI champion –EBP champion –Research champion Templates for presentation provided Speaking classes offered Karen Gabel Speroni, 11/11 Karen Gabel Speroni, 2011 Contact to request permission for

QuERY SEMINAR FORMAT One hour in length –5 min introduction with definitions of QI / PI, EBP, research, innovation –8 minutes QI Unit 1 –8 minutes EBP Unit 1 –8 minutes Research Unit 1 –8 minutes QI Unit 2 –8 minutes EBP Unit 2 –8 minutes Research Unit 2 –7 minutes Closing and questions Invite all hospital nurses Offer at standard time / day of month Offer continuing education unit credits Karen Gabel Speroni, 11/11 Karen Gabel Speroni, 2011 Contact to request permission for

QuERY SEMINAR FORMAT At QuERY session offer –Literature on QI, EBP and research –Contest card –Other Post QuERY powerpoint on your hospital nursing research shared drive Karen Gabel Speroni, 11/11 Karen Gabel Speroni, 2011 Contact to request permission for

QuERY CONTEST Annually contest judged by nurses selecting the best QI, EBP and research work that improves –Standard operating procedure –Patient outcomes –Care delivery Electronic contest –List definitions –List each units QI, EBP and research work Award prizes Karen Gabel Speroni, 11/11 Karen Gabel Speroni, 2011 Contact to request permission for
