Changes in policy are most effective through willing champions as part of a unit-based,staff-led practice council.Discussion of evidence-based findings is important,but it is not logical to expect every nurse to read a research article and share findings.Discussion of pros and cons at a staff meeting is likely to be prolonged and based on opinion rather than evidence.Nurses with the most experience are not necessarily the ones to develop a new policy.They may be the least likely to change; therefore,it is important to solicit volunteers from all staff members,not just the experienced ones.
