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
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.
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.
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
optional scholarly source used as a supplement to the systematic review.

Cultivating a culture of medication safety in prelicensure nursing students. Nurse
educator, 40(4), 169-173.
Briefly summarize the main findings (in your own words) from the systematic review and
the strength of the evidence.
Patient safety is one of most critical factors in the promotion of quality healthcare. It is one of the
factors constantly monitored by most health organizations across the world. Nurses are critical in
the promotion of safety culture due to the nature of their roles and their hand-on handling of
patients. Some of the outlined patient safety predictors include communication about errors,
constant feedback, hospital management support, management expectations and teamwork in
solving possible errors.
Outline one or two evidence-based solutions you will consider for the trial project.
Hospital management needs to develop systems and practices that enhance patient safety culture.
They should also aim at developing leadership capacity to allow constant communication,
progressive organizational learning, and teamwork and blame free environment.
Star Point 3: Translation (Action Plan)
Identify care standards, practice guidelines, or protocols that may be in place to support
your intervention planning (These may come from your organization or from the other
sources listed in your Summary section in Star Point 2).
The presence of a comprehensive learner-centered and engaging training and supervision
modules that increase skills, attitude and knowledge as well as create awareness to nurses on the
various ways to avoid errors promote patient safety
List your stakeholders (by title and not names; include yourself) and describe their roles
and responsibilities in the change process (no more than 5).
