In the same fashion, and of equal importance, the obtained information must be disseminated to stakeholders. The purpose of disseminating evidence is to increase the knowledge and incorporate the use of the evidence-based intervention (Agency for Health Care research and Quality [AHRQ], 2012). According to AHRQ (2012), one must consider how to disperse the information, increase the stakeholder’s motivation to incorporate the evidence, and enable the stakeholders to use and apply the evidence.
Methods of Dissemination
While there are many ways to disseminate the information, it has been shown that the most effective strategies include “academic detailing, audit and feedback, and the use of opinion leaders” (Dobbins, Ciliska, Cockerill, Barnsley, …show more content…
Identifying and providing a dedicated space, a tracking sheet to monitor FTA patients, an emergency severity index (ESI) review sheet, and an algorithm for process flow are tools one would want to consider. Practicing with a mock FTA prior to implementation would help problem solve and identify barriers to the process.

According to Hanrahan et al. (2010), perfectionism, writer’s block, procrastination, lack of time, inability to get started, poor work habits, poor writing skills, and trouble with constructive criticism can also impede the dissemination process.
Disseminating information to Nursing Community
The same barriers identified in disseminating evidence to the ED stakeholders also exist in disseminating information to the nursing community. Ways to disseminate the information to the nursing community include journal articles, submissions to the hospital website, speaking at conferences, and networking with colleagues from different facilities. ED crowding is a national problem, and finding solutions that lead to better care is significant to the community and to improved nursing. Sharing positive results with other nurses who are facing the same challenges is crucial to a healthy nation.
