implementation timelines, weekly informational fyers were posted.
Open forums to discuss all questions regarding TBI patient admission
processes, utilization of the O-log, patient assessment form, computer
order entry for physical therapy, speech/cognitive therapy consults and
problems encountered with program implementation were scheduled.
Tis aforded one-on-one conversations with staf members to provide
opportunities for TBI protocol clarifcation and problem-solving. It also
provided the opportunity for the staf to ask questions about evidence-
based practice and to recognize the role of evidence-based practice in
clinical practice decisions.
