An important piece of implementing evidence based projects is how the information will be disseminated out. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) states, “the targeted distribution of information and intervention materials to a specific public health or clinical practice audience. The intent is to spread knowledge and the associated evidence-based interventions” (AHRQ, 2012). It will be important to disseminate information internally and externally to achieve better implementation of the evidence based project. To disseminate information internally I will talk to the manager of the cardiac unit and discuss the implementation of the project. This will include hand-outs of information pertaining to the project and data related to the project. The communication will be focused and presented in an open manner when the manager can ask questions and discus their thoughts regarding the project. An external method for disseminating the project information will be to present it to a group of physicians in outpatient clinics where heart failure patients follow up. They will need to be informed of the project due to their participation in the care following discharge from the hospital. The communication will be similar to presenting it to managers with in the hospital setting. The importance of dissemination is stated well by Walsh, “Dissemination and use is as complex and fluctuating as the healthcare provision it is intended to support. Clinicians, organizations and government policy need to ensure that these complexities are accounted for in the policy developments they make to improve the quality of healthcare provision” (Walsh, 2010). It is important for nurses to consider this information when implementing new evidence based projects.

In an article published by Harris, et. al (2011), they stated “some evidence-based practices spread passively and are adopted without additional support or instigation from outside the user organization”.  Depending on the practice being spread, this can determine how to spread it.  One internal dissemination method could be via the office’s intranet.  Using this method, it allows everyone in the office access to the results.  As this project is based out of a health clinic, it will allow all the providers to see and review all the results, as well as decide if they will implement it into their project, as well as how they will.  This can be done via a community board that allows others to put forth their input, allowing a group discussion that can be constructive and productive.  This could be considered a more passive approach.  An external approach could be putting on an act in a theater.  While this may seem out in left field, there have been successes using this method.  Keen and Todres (2007) highlight some examples, such as Handle with Care, No Big Deal, Syncing Out Loud, and Busting.  These used research-based theater/ethnodrama to represent their ideas and get the information out to the public.  They used transcripts from their research interviews to make the scripts.  No Big Deal, for example “lasts 40 minutes and is followed by a 15-minute facilitated discussion period”, making it “designed to fit into a one-hour time-slot for a hospital round or lunch break” (Keen & Todres, 2007).  This helps to disseminate the information to other clinics, or hospitals, helping to get the word out.

It is important to pass this information out, not only internally but externally as well, because in the end, the care of the patients, and our quality and ability to do so, is what is important.  The more EBP that is out there, the better we can provide that care.  In terms of my communication strategies, they would differ slightly.  Internally, it is more informal, whereas externally, it would be more formal.  The reason being, is that internally, the staff is more familiar, creating a more comfortable environment to be informal.  Being too formal in this environment may push some away.  ON the other hand, externally, I wouldn’t know them directly.  The play would help to cut that barrier, and provide some levity to a serious topic, but it would still require some formal terms and information so as to be taken more seriously.
