  1. LIBRARIANS BECOME ACTORS FOR NURSES • Jean Slepian, Librarian, and the Evidence Based Nursing Group at Cheshire Medical Center, Keene, New Hampshire – A Brief History. • The NER RAC Hospital Subcommittee gets involved – Mark Goldstein says – so should we do this Play? • 18 Months to the NAHSL Conference – can it be done?

  2. Why did the RAC get involved with this PLAY? • All hospital librarians have instituted many kinds of programs to encourage nurses to use the hospital library – • Freebees • All manner of instruction • Everything in between

  3. What did being involved with the Play create? • A new playing field – a new type of dialogue • A regional collaboration among librarians • The mechanics of the Play helped the RAC Players understand our own capabilities, limitations, and desire to try something new not knowing the impact of the Play on a broad scale • This type of change is risky business

  4. How risky was doing the Play? • The effect on two populations – nurses and librarians • The first outcome measurement came from a Director of Professional Development – the Play was viable – format & content • First audience was librarians at NAHSL • Moved from the author to become a RAC ongoing Project

  5. How has the Play changed? • Nurses know and are getting involved • The Play has evolved into an important encouragement tool – aiding nurses in understanding the importance of Evidence Based Information and its relationship to Nursing Best Practices • It’s fun, engaging, and collaborative • Relationship building in an unique way

  6. What is the message? • All training and experience is anecdotal! – What a piece of information this is… • When evidence based information is added to any combination of training and experience, the old practice is either supported or it must change to support a new ‘Best Practice.’

  7. Let’s see some excerpts and get to know the characters… • Olive – The quintessential nurse – all training and experience • Emily – the EBN – has survived the addition of evidence and has become an even better nurse • The Judge, The Defense Attorney, The Prosecuting Attorney, and all the cast…let’s look in on this courtroom…

  8. How do I do this Play in my organization? • Call Sheila Hayes • 603 433-4094 • Sheila.hayes@hcahealthcare.com
