Review of a Nursing Journal on an EBP Process: Together with his colleagues at the University of Washington, Jeffrey R. Harris developed and published an article regarding the most appropriate means to disseminate evidence-based practices . The framework was geared towards disseminating evidence-based practices focused on health promotion. The authors argued that the basis for widespread adoption of evidence-based health promotion practices depends primarily on the development and evaluation of effective dissemination approaches. As a result, they created a practical framework based on existing literature on disclosure and their experiences in conducting such practices. The framework is commonly known as the Health Promotion Research Center (HPRC) framework, developed by the University of Washington Prevention Research Center and funded by the Center for Disease Control. The CDC funded the development of this evidence-based health promotion framework to conduct community-based chronic disease prevention and management research. Summary of key points of the article: One of the most important points of the publication by Jeffrey R. Harris and his colleagues is the importance of developing and examining effective dissemination approaches in the widespread adoption of evidence-based health promotion practices (Harris et. al., 2012). As a result, they developed a framework that would help establish evidence-based health promotion practices. As a practice framework, the HPRC model is based on the dissemination literature and the authors' individual experiences in deploying evidence-based practices in nursing. Second, the HPRC model is based on a few key elements including a... .middle of article ...that make a notable difference in patient populations. Conclusion: The HPRC framework for evidence-based health promotion practices provides an effective model for increasing the reach of these practices to patient populations. This framework provides important insights for the dissemination of evidence-based practices to improve the impact of such practices. In particular, the authors provided clear examples of the use of the model and its results regarding the achievement of specific objectives. The main factor contributing to the effectiveness of this framework is the close collaboration between the main actors, i.e. researchers, dissemination organizations or disseminators and user organisations. Without close partnerships and collaborative initiatives from these entities, the effectiveness of disseminating these practices is significantly compromised.
