Tools for practice development Case study using wadula tools
Introduction
Developing the person centered care culture requires practice development. Practice development is the creative methodology. It is the person-centered design that bridges the gap between the rhetoric and the practice of values and culture. Practice development is the continuous process of developing the evidenced based cultures (Laird et al. 2015). It is challenging to implement the evidenced based practice, as it is uncomfortable to adapt to changes on a daily basis. However, the dynamics of the health industry is changing continuously and demands a change in the practice development. One of the effective tools in practice development is the wadula puzzling cube, which will be used in this assignment (Walsh et al. 2008). The assignment deals with the clinical issue that is identified form personal practice experience in native country, Australia.
Identifying the issue and Purpose
When I was placed as clinical nurse in the reputed hospital of Melbourne, the fall of older adults was a prominent issue. Patients fall in the aged care is the burning issue among the health care workers. It is challenging to obtain the “zero falls goals”. To obtain this goal the staff nurses are directly responsible as they are frontline carers for older adult patients. The increasing rate of falls and the fall prevention message add stress to nurses. They develop a fear of falls and must be careful for protecting the self along with unit. They also must restrict the fall risk patients (Burns et al. 2016).
To meet the hospital goals and to stop the fall prevention messages or alerts, there is need of identifying the barriers to prevention.
