Re:Topic 4 DQ 2
There are various topics and barriers and associated with
implementing evidence based practices, EBP, in healthcare. EBP is an
increasingly being recognized for its reliability and dependability to
make decisions regarding patient care, diagnosis, and treatment while
increasing clinical expertise. However the barriers exist including
frequency required to access information, inability to synthesize
amount of literature available, resistance to change to a new
practice,and lack of access (Jordan, Bowers, Morton 2016). The biggest
issue with implementing EBP seems to be the time associated with the
research and accessing that information. A time consuming task, many
respondents in this study responded that they would access
information/evidence by consulting peers while a lesser percent would
do unstructured internet search, use a textbook, and consult peer
reviewed journals. With time being an issue, so does the commitment
to actually making the change and changing the traditional practices of
the organization due to lack of organizational authority.

Re:Topic 4 DQ 2
There are many barriers and challenges that can affect the
implementation of evidence-based practice. One of the barriers is the
overwhelming amount of health care literature and published sources
that can prevent the medical professionals to keep up to date. “It is
estimated that around 8,000 articles relevant to family practice are
published monthly, and a family medicine practitioner would need to
dedicate approximately 20 hours a day to stay abreast of new evidence”
(Shaheen et al., 2011, p. 230). A rationale for this barrier would be to
use tools that aid in choosing the proper literature for review. Another
barrier would be to not have enough authority to actually create a
change. A rationale for this barrier would be to communicate with
leadership and discuss the reason the change is needed. Another barrier
is there is not enough time to implement change. By creating a time
line, an individual would determine how much time is needed to create a
more accurate time frame. Implementing evidence-based practice places
pressure on nurses to use credible evidence, use clinical judgements, and
consider client values and resources.
