Evidence Based Approach to Reducing Turnover Rates in Healthcare

Choose an issue (REDUCING TURNOVER RATE/ INCREASING STAFF RETENTIOIN) that interests you in your current or past workplace and using an Evidence-Based Approach to Design and Implement a Management Intervention.

This project will include the five key competencies required for evidence-based decision making:

1. Formulating/Framing the question
2. Acquiring research evidence (i.e., finding sources of information)
3. Assessing the validity, quality and applicability of research evidence (i.e., assessing the accuracy of the information)
4. Presenting the research results in a way that will increase use (i.e., assessing the applicability of the information)
5. Applying the evidence in decision making (i.e., assessing the actionability of the information)

The goal is to find an evidence-based policy/protocol that has been implemented to improve the turnover rates with hospital personnel. Introduction should discuss primarily the downsides to high turnover rates with nurses, such as negative financial implications for a health care organiation, decreased job satisfaction leading to turnover rates, skills of new personnel may not meet the expected standards, decrease in patient quality of care (please elaborate on each in introduction with citation). This can transition to address the question formulated and will be answered in the paper: What is the effectiveness of strategies implemented in order to increase staff retention in healthcare? This question will be answered in the body of the paper by finding an evidence-based approach that has been studied and implemented to improve these retention rates.
