“As a model of professional development, we hope to advance the leadership of evidence-based practice and understand what approaches and interventions will shape new practice cultures for the future. Building leadership’s commitment and capacity to advance the use of evidence in the care of patients is essential in our next steps. We appreciate the grant support to measure the impact of this model of development for leadership for evidence-based practice.” --Kathryn Lothschuetz Montgomery, PhD, RN, CNAA, University of Maryland School of Nursing -- Joan Warren, PhD, RN, BC Franklin Square Hospital Center 2007 Research Seed Grant recipients “Despite a plethora of protective and prevention strategies, nurses have largely been unable to decrease the frequency or severity of patient falls. The seed grant provided by AONE will enable us to study falls prevention risk screening using a Failure-Effects-Mode-Analysis methodology. We also know that nurses do not practice in a vacuum in our large, complex hospital systems, so we will also be examining ways to foster interdisciplinary collaboration in our efforts to avert patient injury and falls during hospitalization.” ---Jane Llewellyn, PhD, RN, CNAA, Rush University Medical Center 2007 Research Seed Grant recipient
