Dissemination tools include, research and peer review reports, press releases, and policy briefs. Theses topic may be presented as posters, presentations, or papers. Personally, I am inclined to use posters and presentations when trying to disseminate new information with my colleagues, particularly new evidence-based practice (EBP), which as a clinical educator I am expecting them to incorporate into their daily professional practice. Newhouse et al., 2007, reported that the very act of getting ones’ colleagues to introduce EBP into their daily routine may present a complete change in nursing culture.

It is for this very reason I have chosen posters and presentations as my primary methods for the dissipation of new information. I feel that these methods allow the participants two very valuable opportunities such as the ability to consume the information in a rapid style (i.e., posters) and to promote self-guided research. The poster approach stimulates the nurses to ponder the content and gives the opportunity to discuss its contents with myself or other staff members. It is important to stress the importance of EBP to actively review ones’ practice for safer, more effective, and the most productive methods of practicing the nursing profession.

In the same vein, I feel that presentations are quite valuable for disseminating new information to a large group of people. This allows for a volley of questions and answers to occur at the end of the presentation, instead of the consumer of this information feeling as if they have been “drinking out of a firehose.” Being able to unpack and break down complicated amounts of data, especially number driven statistical analysis, may be required of the staff to implement and their daily nursing practice as EBP.
