QAH HospitalPortsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust Final word about audit and evaluation  Evaluation or audit of change is important  Not always about tick lists!  Choose most appropriate audit and evaluation method.  Try to use validated tools or get help with designing audit tools  Keep it as simple as possible  Helps to evaluate achievement of EBP  Helps to identify further actions  Feeds back into EBP cycle

QAH HospitalPortsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust What if we need money or resources for our EBP project?  If your EBP change is significant, and requires money or resources you will need to discuss this with your line manager in the first instance  You can apply for money through some professional or charitable organisations e.g: –The Florence Nightingale Foundation travel scholarships: –The Foundation of Nursing Studies “putting patients first programme”: –The Learning and Development Team can help you with some of these aspects as any application needs thought and care  You may need to write a business plan if there are significant financial implications for the Trust (discuss with your Operational Manager)

QAH HospitalPortsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust Start your plan..  At the end of this session, try drafting your plan for implementing EBP. Try it in an action plan or Gantt chart format?
