A Historical View of Nursing Research at HCA Healthcare
1HCA Healthcare Clinical Services Group, Nashville, TN.
Abstract:
Description HCA Healthcare has been a pioneer in evidence-based practice (EBP) in nursing for over 20 years. Nursing leaders overcame 2 major challenges, generating useful data to inform practice and disseminating EBP across their vast network. These challenges were overcome by using data outside the electronic health record (EHR) while advancing the standardization of data within the EHR. Standardizing data had a significant impact on nurse-led research, leading to improvements in patient outcomes and changes in practice including medication dispensing, patient fall reporting, and scheduling guidelines. This retrospective shares some of these important innovations in nursing practice.
