Dear Colleagues,

In collaboration with a research team at The Ohio State University and the Helene Fuld Health Trust National Institute for EBP in Nursing and Healthcare, we are requesting your participation in the following research study. It will take approximately 15-20 minutes of your time to complete the survey.

This is a survey about CNO/CNE & Organizational Evidence-based Practice (EBP) attributes and their relationship to patient/nurse outcomes in hospitals throughout the U.S. The primary purpose of this descriptive study is to describe the organizational culture, structure, personnel, resources, and budget devoted to evidence-based practice and the relationships to patient outcomes using national outcome measures (NDNQI, Core Measures, HCAHPS). The secondary purpose is to describe what organizational supports are in place to promote nurse/clinician health and well-being and their relationships to patient and nurse outcomes.

This survey was developed by The Ohio State University College of Nursing’s Helene Fuld Health Trust National Institute for Evidence-based Practice in Nursing.

This online survey has five main sections that include demographic questions, organization-related questions, performance metrics questions (NDNQI, Core Measures & HCAHPS), EBP-related questions and nurse/clinician health and well-being questions.

If you choose to participate in the study, you will be eligible to enter a drawing for one of three (3) $100.00 gift cards or for one table of 8 participants to attend one of our 5-day educational EBP immersion program offerings (a value of $10,000) offered by the Fuld Institute for EBP. The odds of winning are 1 in 500 but could be greater depending on the survey response rate and gift-card drawing participation.

Any questions you have concerning the research study or your participation in the study will be answered by Bernadette Mazurek Melnyk at 1585 Neil Avenue, Newton Hall, Columbus Ohio 43210, 614-292-4844 or Lynn Gallagher-Ford, at 760 Kinnear Road, Columbus, Ohio 43212, 614-688-0953 or Linda Connor, at 760 Kinnear Road, Columbus, Ohio 43212, 614-292-1902.
