Synthesis of Evidence Paper: The Role of Nurses in Managing and Reducing Medication Errors in Hospital Settings
Research topic: The role of nurses in managing and reducing medication errors in a hospital setting. Please follow the below guidelines
Synthesis of Evidence Guidelines:
1. Identify a nursing clinical practice problem. The problem should be approved in consultation with your instructor.
2. Introduce the problem and its significance to your practice setting.
3. Provide the research question to address the problem using PICO format.
4. Identify the current practice being used to address the problem.
5. Identify the key stakeholders affected by the problem.
6. Conduct a literature search on the clinical practice problem focusing on the patient outcomes.
7. Use and Cite The Cochrane library as it is a good source
8. Search for a systematic review, a meta-analysis and three research studies focusing on the problem. Consider interventions that have been tested to improve patient outcomes.
9. Write a summary of the systematic review and the meta-analysis to include problem statement, purpose, method for conducting the review (i. e. PRISMA), search criteria, data bases used, selection process for review, samples, settings, data collection methods, results, and implications for EBP. For meta-analysis, provide statistical test results.

10. For each research study (5 required) include the problem statement, samples, settings, data collection methods, results (include statistics), and implications for EBP. Evaluate the level of evidence for each study using the diagram and information on pages 38 and 39 of the Gray and Grove textbook.
11. Provide an analysis of the evidence by comparing and contrasting results across the studies reviewed. Identify the level of evidence for this review.
12. Discuss how the evidence would be translated into practice using one of the translation models in the Grove and Gray textbook. Describe the role of the interdisciplinary team in implementing the change.
