The process of disseminating findings and results associated with the intervention in the Emergency Department (ED) of the determined facility should include two stages. The first stage is connected with disseminating the findings to Emergency Department Manager, Nurse Administrator, and the facility’s staff. The second stage is associated with demonstrating the significance of the intervention to the large nursing community while referring to the findings and important positive outcomes.
The first approach to present the results of the project to the stakeholders is in a formal structured report on the project completion and outcomes. The formal report provided to the Emergency Department Manager and Nurse Administrator as supervisors of the project is expected to include the overview of the project steps and summary of the results with the focus on their practical significance. The informal report of the results to the other stakeholders, such as the ED staff participating and assisting in the project, should be based on demonstrating the PowerPoint presentation which overviews the stages of the intervention and presents the results in the form of tables, graphs, and figures in order to support conclusions with the help of the visual material.
When the results of the project are disseminated to the stakeholders involved in the solution implementation, it is necessary to present the findings and discuss the significance of the outcomes in the format that is accessible by the large nursing community. In order to disseminate the project’s findings and accentuate the importance of the outcomes in an appropriate form, it is important to prepare posters for placing them in the community’s clinics and hospitals. This information will be available not only to the nurses but also to the physicians as well as potential patients of the Emergency Department.
In addition to placing posters in the medical facilities of the community, it is also important to focus on publishing the results of the project in different professional or peer-reviewed journals. In this context, it is possible to combine the results of the project with the other interventions’ results that were previously conducted in the ED and related to the research question. Thus, the article on the association between staffing and patient satisfaction in the ED can be written in cooperation with the nursing leaders and researchers in the medical center. Moreover, the results of the project can be provided to the nursing community’s leaders for further use in seminars and conferences. In this case, the preliminary discussion of the results with the leaders of the local nursing community should be organized.
Thus, there are several strategies and methods that can be used in order to publicize the results of the project and accentuate the importance of the outcomes with the focus on the further application of the findings to the nursing practice. In this context, it is important to demonstrate the significance of the proposed approach to resolve the problem of short staffing in association with the patient satisfaction to the main stakeholders and other interested persons.
