Steps of the ACE Star model of Knowledge Transformation

 


 	
Discovering new knowledge through research
 	
Summarizing of the acquired knowledge and evidence
 	
Translating the evidence into guidelines
 	
Integrating the evidence into practice
 	
Evaluating the impact of EBP

The ACE Star Model functions through a series of five steps. The process starts with the discovery of fresh knowledge by conducting scrutinizing past and present research studies. Second, the knowledge and evidence acquired in the first step is summarized into a meaningful, simple and organized form. It involves generating new knowledge through the findings. Third, the new knowledge is translated into a standard of best practice in clinical nursing. At this stage new guidelines are developed based on the summary of evidence obtained in step two. In the fourth stage, the guidelines are integrated into practice through effective and efficient decision-making for high-quality healthcare delivery. It entails the greatest impact of the EBP on individuals and organizations. Lastly, an evaluation of the EBP is conducted to assess its impact on patient outcomes (Christenbery, 2017). It involves exploring the effect of the application of EBP on patient healthiness, provider fulfillment, financial effect, effectiveness, and the productivity of the community nurses.
Summary of the Presentation

 	
Link between EBP and ACE Star Model
 	
Who developed the ACE Star Model?
 	
How does ACE Star Model function?
 	
Is the ACE Star Model function relevant?
 	
How is the ACE Star Model unique?

The summary involves answering five key questions out of the presentation. The EBP needs to be implemented within a framework in order to be relevant in the nursing profession. The ACE Star Model provides a simple and organized structure of transforming knowledge into practice. Developed by Dr. Stevens, the model works through five key steps through which knowledge is acquired, organized and applied. It involves accustomed practices and also lays emphasis on the unique aspects of EBP (Alvarez et al., 2021). By integrating the old as well as the latest research developments, the ACE Star Model helps to improve in healthcare delivery
