Registration is now open for the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Workshop for Health Professionals being held at the Ohio Union on The Ohio State University campus, Sept. 22 and 23. This is the second workshop for entrepreneurs hosted by the Ohio State College of Nursing’s Academy for Continuing Education and Lifelong Learning (AcCELL).
As hospitals across the country continue to feel pressure to improve patient outcomes and reduce costs, a new study published today in Worldviews on Evidence-Based Nursing reveals one reason why many organizations continue to fall short.
The Ohio State University College of Nursing and medical device company Welch Allyn have joined forces on new research aimed at improving the delivery of patient care.
A new national survey of more than 1,000 registered nurses suggests that serious barriers, including resistance from nursing leaders, prevent nurses from implementing evidence-based practices (EBP) that improve patient outcomes.
When survey respondents ranked these barriers, the top five included resistance from nursing leaders and nurse managers - a finding that hasn’t been reported in previous similar studies - as well as politics and organizational cultures that avoid change.
