Local Practice Problem Exploration: Cancer.

As we have chosen the same practice problem, to explore, I am curious how your facility (north shore medical center, Miami, Florida) has planned to (or currently has implemented) becoming an Age-Friendly institution?  Many of the interventions you described echo the “4 M” is of the Age-Friendly Institution: Mentation, Mobility, Medications, and What Matters Most.  How have you seen institutions adapting to this framework in anticipation of the needs of cancer patients and survivors? 

– How cancer impacts nurses, healthcare organizations, nursing care, and general health care quality?

– what is the real impact on your community? What is the cost to your local community (Miami, Florida)? 

Just as you sought out stakeholders when considering practice problems at the national level, an ongoing dialogue with stakeholders at your local level is equally important. Get to know your formal and informal leaders. Networking with stakeholders sets into motion a collaborative relationship that is needed to focus on a practice problem with the intention of translating the best available evidence. 

 – Key stakeholders affected by the problem and ones involved in the resolution. In your current practice, what contributes to the alarming rates across the known practice problems? During your journey this week, you’ll also examine the role of stakeholders in change and the role of translation science in influencing patient outcomes across known practice problems. During your readings, you probably noted that there are challenges and barriers to changing practice.
