http://hdl.handle.net/10755/23761
<p>Teach-back has been a proven model to teach patients about their disease process, medications, or dressing changes in a simple-to-understand language that often includes a return demonstration. Teach-Back isn’t just a tool to be used with patients, it can be used to help anyone understand something new. Based on the Technology Acceptance Model, people are less inclined to use new technology if they do not find it easy to use or useful in their day-to-day jobs. This integrative review aims to support the use of the Teach-Back method of instruction with staff, including return demonstration, to prove the ease of use and usefulness of patient portals integrated with the electronic medical record for hospitalized patients. Through extensive analysis of systematic reviews and qualitative studies, supporting evidence was found to prove that training focused on ease of use and usefulness of new technology will increase adoption by staff.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The purpose of this best practice guideline (BPG) is to strengthen collaborative practice among nurses, because effective collaborative practice is essential for working in health-care organizations.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this guideline, there is a focus on collaborative practice amongst three types of nursing professionals: </p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">registered nurse (RN), </li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">registered practical nurse (RPN), and </li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">nurse practitioner (NP) </li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">The guideline explores what fosters healthy work environments for these groups of nurses (being aware that collaboration must align with the needs of the patient or client). </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The purpose of this best practice guideline (BPG) is to provide evidence-based recommendations that promote and sustain the undergraduate nursing student’s application of knowledge to practice in a variety of clinical learning environments. The guideline explores the relationships among and between students and nursing educators, nursing staff, preceptors and diverse health-care team members, and it considers their influence on the quality of practice education, professional socialization and nursing excellence. The recommendations will help nurse educators, preceptors, staff nurses and other members of the interprofessional health-care team better understand how to foster and support effective teaching and learning strategies in a variety of practice settings, as well as how they can advocate for change.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This guideline was developed to identify and describe best practices in practice education for the undergraduate nursing student in order to ensure that nurses entering practice meet competencies related to safe, ethical and effective practice. This guideline will also be applicable for practice education planning and implementation in college programs for registered practical nurses.</p>
