DISSEMINATION OF THE DNP PROJECT FINDINGS AbstractThe problem is extended wait times among paediatric patients at the selected Paediatric Emergency Department (PED). The failure by nurses and clinicians to effectively educate patients at discharge causes many patients to return for complications listed in their discharge instructions. This leads to patient dissatisfaction and poor organizational outcomes as patients may leave without care. Hospital readmission within 30 days of discharge remain a serious health concern in the US. Statistics indicate that 1 in five Medicaid patients return to hospital within 30 days of discharge. Cumulatively, readmissions alone account for approximately $42 billion in health spending annually. A literature review was conducted to gather evidence-based knowledge on strategies for enhancing the effectiveness of discharge procedures. Evidence was gathered by searching for US-based primary research articles in the JAMA Network, Cochrane Open Access, the Directory of Open Access Journals, and the Digital Commons Network published within the past five years. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses, as well as older articles, were excluded, but were kept as reference material and will be used in the narrative review. The evidence showed that effective pre-discharge education and post-discharge follow-up significantly reduced hospital revisits. Based on this evidence, the project seeks to reduce patient wait times at the PED by adopting an enhanced discharge education program that includes post-discharge follow-up phone calls. The project faces cost constraints given the large number of patients, time limitations, as it has to be completed within the given time frame, and the risk that staff may resist change.Key words: discharge education, revisits, readmission

DNP EssentialsDoctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) essentials represent the curricular features that should be followed in DNP programs. The essentials form part of the nursing practice\\\'s foundational competencies and are recognized in the Registered Nursing practices. For example, they are applicable among nurse practitioners, midwives, nurse anesthetists, and clinical nurse specialists. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), in 2006, published the eight DNP essentials to address the complex

Dissemination The student in a Doctorate of Nursing (DNP) program has an obligation to get permission when launching a scholarly research project; and the student also has a responsibility to disseminate that research once it is completed. This paper delves into those aspects of research -- and others -- for the DNP student.

Patient Outcomes and Sustainable Change: Identifying Leadership Roles for Doctors of Nursing Practice
Today, the United States spends more taxpayer monies on healthcare services than virtually any other industrialized country in the world, yet Americans still pay more out-of-pocket expenses and receive fewer physician visits per year compared to nations that spend less. Moreover, the demand for already scarce healthcare services is expected to increase concomitantly with the rapid growth

Proper contraception usage is one of the most important factors towards improving patient outcomes in the obstetrics and gynecology setting. The search of evidence in existing literature has demonstrated that contraception use differs among patient populations while there is a strong link between education and proper contraception use (Gosavi et al., 2016). The existing evidence has also shown that healthcare providers in the obstetrics and gynecology setting utilize various teaching

I also need to know the length of time that I have scheduled to speak since professional research conventions usually allocate 10 minutes to 90 minutes for a presentation. If only a short time, I may be advised to present highlights and to give handouts of my presentation. Visual images also facilitate the learning. I will need to build in time for question and discussions. With each audience, I should consider
