After attending the National Holistic Nursing Conference, you thought of a couple of ways to implement an integrative, holistic, caring environment at Rasmussen Hospital. As luck would have it, you shared an elevator ride with the hospital president today and managed to pitch your ideas briefly.
It turns out that the hospital president is very enthusiastic about holistic approaches to care and understands the benefits. She even talked about how daily meditation has influenced her outlook on life.
The president wants you to decide which of the ideas you would like to implement first and then create a PowerPoint slideshow she can use to present your proposed intervention to other members of hospital leadership.
Instructions
Decide which of the intervention ideas (below) you would like to have presented to hospital leadership.
· An evidence-based healing space for patients or nursing staff using an existing space at Rasmussen Hospital (i.e., patient waiting room, office, exam room, break room, closet, garden space, walking path).
· An evidence-based integrative nursing approach for patients at Rasmussen Hospital (i.e., nurse coaching, aromatherapy, acupressure, healing touch, health planning, group education class).
Once you have chosen the intervention, create a PowerPoint presentation that contains a title slide, a references slide, and content slides with Speaker Notes to assist the hospital president’s delivery of the presentation. Your content slides should address the following:
1. Define integrative, holistic, caring environments based on current evidence.
1. Describe the proposed intervention and be sure to:
1. Provide a summary of the proposed intervention, including a brief definition.
1. Identify at least 1 rationale for choosing this specific intervention.
1. Cite at least 3 evidence-based resources in support of the intervention.
1. Discuss how the intervention will influence care delivery at the hospital. Be sure to include:
1. At least 1 benefit to patients.
1. At least 1 benefit to hospital staff.
1. Explain how the intervention will be executed and identify:
1. At least 1 potential financial cost of delivery.
1. At least 1 potential staff training idea.
1. Explain how the intervention will be evaluated. Be sure to address the following:
1. What outcomes will be tracked?
1. How will the outcomes be reported?
1. How will successes/barriers be assessed?
1. Discuss how the intervention will be sustained over time and identify:
1. At least 1 potential barrier to sustainability.
1. At least 1 potential plan to ensure sustainability.
