Fall Prevention in Elderly Population

Week 2 post 1

Topic: Fall Prevention in Elderly Population

PICOT Question: In elderly patients aged 65 years and above, does using an interdisciplinary approach compared to a conventional independent approach lead to reduced complications within ten weeks.

The discussion for this week is focused on the DNP-prepared nurse as a healthcare systems leader and your professional identity formation process.

Part I: All Students  

Please answer the following questions:

1.     What is the impact of the DNP-prepared healthcare systems leader on healthcare systems of today?

2.     How do you anticipate integrating this role into your current or future career?

3.     In your opinion, what is needed for successful professional identity formation in DNP students to achieve healthcare systems leadership roles after graduation?

Part II: For Case Study Students

·      Please state your practice question in PICOT format. Please use the bullet points below as headings. Every week, please answer each bulleted point.

·      Discuss best practices for implementing evidence-based practice guidelines with citations and matching references sufficient to support your discussion.

·      Discuss strategies for overcoming barriers in implementing evidence-based practice with citations and references to support strategies.

·      Discuss your formative evaluation plan to check intervention fidelity.

·      In Week 2, your formative evaluation plan reveals a few staff did not implement the evidence-based intervention as intended. What is your next step?

·      In your simulated Case Study, some staff state, “I am too busy” or “I do not see a need for change since the ‘way we have always done it’ works fine.” How will you address this?

·      You identify that stakeholders were not included in the project planning meetings and are resisting change.  How will you work with these stakeholders to turn their resistance into support?

·      Thinking about a live implementation, are there additional resources that may be necessary for a successful implementation?   If so, what are those resources?

Class, each week, when you share your implementation progress, successes, challenges, and barriers, your classmates may be feeling the same way, or have experienced a similar situation and can share their experiences as well.   Thank you in advance for your thoughtful discussions. 

The course outcomes that guide your learning this week include: 

CO 1: Demonstrate effective project management strategies (POs 2, 3, 6). 

CO 2: Explore possible career trajectories for the DNP-prepared nurse and the contributions to healthcare to be achieved through those career options (POs 2, 3, 6). 

CO 4: Use project management processes to implement the DNP project (POs 4, 8).
