NDNP 812 – DNP Project Implementation

Module 3: Preparing for Dissemination

Overview

Dissemination is the targeted distribution of information to a specific health or clinical practice audience of what was learned from the DNP project in the one setting. The intent is to share the knowledge and interventions (strategies and tactics timeline and how they were tailored to the context elements) used in the DNP project. Dissemination of DNP projects occurs through a variety of channels, including executive summaries, articles submitted to peer-reviewed journals, as well as oral and poster presentations at local, regional, and national conferences.

  • In the UMSON DNP Program, all students are required to conduct three disseminations
    1. to a gathering of site stakeholders central to the project
    2. external to the site, to your professional community (conference)
    3. at the UMSON DNP Poster Day in May

In this web-conferencing session, students will solicit feedback on their dissemination intentions and offer updates on implementation progress.

Objectives

At the conclusion of this module, the learner will be able to:

  • Identify dissemination opportunities within their project organization, and at local, regional or national conferences.
  • Identify project facilitators and barriers, and actions to promote or mitigate
  • Illustrate, discuss, and analyze initial project data
