Stakeholders / Potential Team Members
Your team should be composed of individuals who can help ensure the effective implementation of any practice change. This likely means a multidisciplinary team, so it's crucial to identify stakeholders and recruit members from those groups who are willing to participate.
The earlier you can assemble your team, the smoother the implementation of the practice change will be.
Work with your Nurse Clinician and Nurse Manager to recruit your team and identify your Evidence-Based Practice coach.
The Stakeholder Analysis Tool will be helpful in this process.
Your team should be no more than 6 to 8 members.
A way to recruit team members is to present your question to your unit's shared governance meeting, staff meetings, safety huddles, and/or divisional practice councils to see if there is anyone interested in joining your team. It is important to recruit and assemble an interdisciplinary team to enhance the knowledge and implementation of your project.
