We all agree that research is the highest form of reliable evidence, when implemented in an organization that provides the basis for an evidence based practice. FIND a research study published in a peer reviewed journal related to a clinical practice problem that is of interest to you, and which would ultimately contribute to an evidence based practice (See “TeamSTEPPS Improves Operating Room Efficiency and Patient Safety” attached article).

In this assignment, you are being asked to critically appraise a single research study for its relevance to a QI practice problem.
Discussion questions:
1) Briefly summarize study findings, conclusions and recommendations. Do you agree with these?
2) As a DNP prepared nurse, would you recommend a change in nursing practice based on the study? Defend and/or justify your decision based on research evaluation principles.
