Abstract
Centralization of Clinical Nurse Educators (CNEs) from the Med-Surg and Critical Care units of a Midwestern health care system created role confusion and poor role outcomes. This evidence-based quality improvement (EBPQI) project focused on the implementation of best practice education strategies integrating the Association of Nursing Professional Development (ANPD, 2016) Transition to Practice Fellowship© and their Practice Model© for six CNEs. The purpose was to discern the effect of such strategies on CNE self-assessed competency and three nurse sensitive quality outcomes. Evaluation of the EBPQI project included paired self-assessments via a pre- and post-intervention survey. Additional project outcomes included fall rates, number of indwelling urinary catheter days, and CNE turnover rates.
