EBP Project
In evidence-based projects, technology is commonly used to ensure its success in the
implementation process. Nurses have a professional responsibility for replacing non-evidence
practices during the experience of birth with evidence-based practices. In EBP, incorporating
evidence-based information into patient care is very significant and requires the utilization of
right information that is readily available facilitated by the use of technology. The application of
EBP also needs a nurse to use technology in order to access the current research, interpret results
and apply the findings in skin-to-skin contact (SSC) care.
I tend to use the “Electronic medical record” as technology in my EBP project of Skin to
skin contact (SSC) of newborn babies without risk factors with their mother. Research shows
that EMR technology is useful to health care providers because it provides significant
information in various formats that cannot be accessed with paper charts (Fowler et al., 2014). In
this case, I will utilize the EMR technology to collect labor medications and demographics in
relation to neonatal and maternal information for my EBP project. EMR will enable me to review
pre-intervention data and evaluate mothers and newborn babies who are at high risk of delivery
to exclude them. To improve the outcomes of my EBP project, I will use electronic medical
records six months prior to implementation of skin-to-skin contact and six months after skin-to-
skin contact to compare the outcomes of my project. The EMR can also facilitate the access of
information and resources so that the most effective approach for SSC is implemented to curb
different health disorders (Manca, 2015). I will use the chart audit of electronic medical records
to determine and evaluate pre- and post-implementation model of my EBP project.
