Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 8   EBP 1112 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Assessing Organizational Readiness

Captions available

The idea

Assessing an organization's readiness to implement a best-practice guideline is a critical step, and it comes before the implementation rather than during it.

In practice

A unit's supports, staffing and appetite for the change surveyed ahead of a rollout.

Where people slip

Readiness is assessed, not assumed. A guideline introduced into an unready setting fails for reasons that have nothing to do with its quality.
