ACE Star Model of Knowledge Transformation
Star Point 1: Discovery (Identify topic and practice issue)
Identify the topic and the nursing practice issue related to this topic. (This MUST involve a
nursing practice issue.)
Errors are very common in hospital settings. Errors have adverse effects and place the health of
most patients at risk of illness and even death. The topic is the reduction of errors by nurses in
health care institutions through the promotion of a safety culture
Star Point 2: Summary (Evidence to support need for a change)
Describe the practice problem in your own words and formulate your PICOT question.
The ever-increasing number of errors in healthcare settings makes up the practice problem. The
errors range from missed care, patients hands-off, infections, falls and medication errors. Despite
the fatal effects of errors, little has been done to promote a safety culture in healthcare settings
and therefore improve patient outcomes.
List the systematic review chosen from the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews from
the Chamberlain library. Type the complete APA reference for the systematic review
selected.
Briefly describe your rationale for your topic selection. Include the scope of the
issue/problem.
Errors are common in hospitals. Errors have led to the death of millions of patients across the
world. Errors are caused by multiple factors including recklessness, fatigue and failure to pay
attention. Nurses are in a position to come up with measures that reduce or eliminate errors in the
nursing practice. Ammouri, A. A., Tailakh, A. K., Muliira, J. K., Geethakrishnan, R., & Al Kindi, S. N. (2015).
Patient safety culture among nurses. International Nursing Review, 62(1), 102-110.
List and briefly describe other sources used for data and information. List any other
