摘要:

Currently, a 10- to 15-year gap exists between discovery of potential innovations and implementation of these innovations into nursing practice. The Retrieval and Application of Research in Nursing (RARIN) project is helping to reduce this gap in one western hospital. The goal of RARIN is to improve the quality of nursing care by facilitating the transfer of new and clinically relevant nursing information to current practice. This is accomplished by providing nurses with both the tools and training for rapid retrieval of scientific information. Their work areas have been electronically linked with local, national, and international scientific information systems.

摘要:

Our healthcare system is undergoing major transformation. Most nurse executives are convinced that change is necessary and inevitable, but they are less certain how to position their departments for future success. The Transformational Model for the Practice of Professional Nursing was developed as a “road map” for that purpose. Part 1 (JONA. April 199 i) discussed the professional practice paradigm shifts that are needed for future success. The model components were presented and applications identified. Part 2 discusses the implementation of this model in a practice setting.
