The facilitators and barriers of the application of the “RNAO Falls Prevention CPG” have been explained clearly with some advice on how to exercise the recommendation in real situations and how to monitor and evaluate the implementation process (Brouwers, et al., 2010, P.35; RNAO, 2011, P.13).For example, it is advised for having a similar result with a specific recommendation, the circumstances, setting, and population should be consistent with those in the original study (RNAO, 2011, P.36 ).
Furthermore, the role of administrative support, financial and human resources in achieving the objectives are very essential. To start a prevention program, it is necessary to have sufficient resources to both lunch the program and ensure the sustainability …show more content…
Also, reviewing process by many external reviewers and stakeholders ensure the content of the CPG has not been influenced by the founders (Brouwers, et al., 2010, P.40; RNAO, 2011, P.2).
Implementing the “RNAO Falls Prevention CPG”
Translating a CPG into daily practice is an important step that should be planned very carefully. Following steps will assist in ensuring that the action plan has been developed according to the “RNAO Falls Prevention CPG” and also it provides a foundation for evaluating the outcomes:
- Defining the objectives aimed to be achieved by applying “RNAO Falls Prevention CPG” ate the LTC facility; outlining the long term and short term goals and objectives (RNAO, 2011), and the objectives should be SMART (Writing SMART learning objectives, n.d.). In addition, at this stage, through involvement of all relevant stakeholders, key performance measures (KPIs) are required to be defined (for details, please refer to monitoring and evaluation …show more content…
It helps collect information about the customized guideline including the feasibility, the strength, the weakness, and implications of the practice at the local level. It is advised to seek the opinion of some individuals with content expertise to make sure of appropriateness and integrity of the recommendations after customization process (RNAO, 2012, P.150).
-Finalizing the format of the adapted guideline for practice in the LTC facility to prevent falls in senior citizens. The guidelines should clearly describe the target populations and users and includes the applicable recommendations. All supporting document and source guideline should be appropriately acknowledged (Castiglione & Ritchie, 2012; RNAO, 2011; RNAO, 2012).
-Developing a workplan containing goals and objectives of the program, available financial/ human resources and constraints, strategies, timetable and deadlines. The workplan facilitates communication within the team and with other stakeholders and ensures moving the team on the same track. Also, the deadline should realistic and based on the team’s knowledge of the local context (RNAO, 2012, P.148; Bartle,
