To further highlight the importance and methods of research-based practices and data collection, I interviewed Dr. Linda, my supervisor and nurse educator at Vila Health. When asked how Dr. Linda collects data on this quality indicator, she responded that as a nurse educator, she collects the data and feedback related to this indicator through surveys. She sends surveys to employees’ work emails, which they all have access to, and believes it to be the most convenient way of gathering adequate data from all concerned persons. Once they are completed, assistant nurse managers sort through them and review the results to analyze the collected data. The gap between survey distribution and data collection has decreased over time, due to technology use. Regarding the dissemination of data, emails and poster boards are used to distribute the findings. Moreover, during unit-based meetings, key discussions also take place. The collected information obtained via these surveys is then used by the organization to highlight key aspects that need to be improved upon to guide organizational policy.
That is all from my side, I hope this presentation increased your knowledge regarding NDNQIs, the role of educated nurses, evidence-based practices, as well as data collection. This indicator mechanism is crucial to new nurses as it will help them to determine patient outcomes, therefore in conclusion, I would like to thank you for your time in attending this tutorial and making the effort to gain added information.
