The dissemination of an evidence-based change proposal can occur through many ways and the goal is to spread knowledge and the associated evidence-based interventions. However, there are internal and external methods for the dissemination of my evidence-based change proposal on heart failure (HF) patients’ compliance to medication and lifestyle changes to prevent hospitalization. An internal method is sharing the evidence-based change proposal with the cardiac clinic organization where I am precepting. It is important to report my change proposal to the cardiac clinic as it will increase the reach of evidence, increase the motivation to use and apply evidence, and increase the ability to use and apply evidence to educate HF patients on compliance to prevent hospitalization (Effective Health Care, 2019). An external method is sharing the evidence-based change project with the American Association of Heart Failure Nurses (AAHFN).

In addition, it is important to report my change proposal to AAHFN as this specialty organization is dedicated to advancing nursing education, clinical practice and research to improve heart failure patient outcomes (American Association, n.d.). It is also important to know how the communication strategies change for each group. For the cardiac clinic, some communication strategies that can be used are tailoring the message, targeting the message to audience segments (e.g., nurses, doctors, patients), using narratives, and framing the message which helps to convey the message in alternative ways (e.g., what is gained or lost by taking an action or making a choice) (Effective Health Care, 2019). For the AAHFN, the communication strategies that can be used are communicating uncertainty as this helps determine whether preventive services and treatments should be implemented and for whom, and communicating evidence with the association members can help make informed decisions (Effective Health Care, 2019).
