It is critical to disseminate evidence to stakeholders and decision makers within the organization in order for the proposed solution to be implemented throughout the organization. The evidence must include evidence-based research that supports the proposed solution and demonstrates how the solution will improve the organization’s performance.
Following the completion of a research or evidence-based project, the information must be shared with the staff. The goal of conducting a research project or an evidence-based project is to effect change and advance patient care. The information that is disseminated among the staff is critical. Because there are obstacles, having a dissemination plan is critical. The barriers can include a lack of readily available education or information, the costs of disseminating the information to staff, and staff resistance to the new change or information.
Using a dissemination plan tool will assist the researcher in locating all of the components required to create a formal dissemination plan that specifically reflects the user’s needs and interests (Carpenter, Nieva, Albaghal, & Sorra, 2014). The tool includes six useful components for effectively disseminating research findings. Define the research, identify target users, collaborate with dissemination partners, communicate the research, communicate the research, evaluate the success of the dissemination process, and develop an action plan are the components (Carpenter, Nieva, Albaghal, & Sorra, 2014).
Using the tool will benefit not only the researcher but also the staff members who will be receiving the new information. Investors and donors are examples of external stakeholders. Internal stakeholders to contact include executives and managers.
