Nurses at UVA Health conduct evidence-based practice within a structure that allows point-of-care clinicians to drive questions and solutions, with support from the larger structure of science, quality improvement and evidence-based practice. As a member of the Unit-Based Leadership (UBL) team, the clinical nurse leader (CNL) is responsible for supporting nursing professional practice through professional development, evidence-based practice, and unit-based quality improvement for one or more microsystem. The CNL trains, coaches and supports nurses and members of the interdisciplinary team to elevate professional practice in a manner consistent with organizational (UVA Health) standards, workflows, processes and strategic outcomes. Practice is aligned with AACN CNL competencies, with the following focus areas:
• Professional Development: The CNL continually develops, implements, and evaluates clinical processes and programs that engage nurses in lifelong learning to maintain competencies and learn new skills.
• Evidence-Based Practice (EBP): The CNL provides ongoing assessment, evaluation and prioritization of unit-based triggers that would benefit from an evidence-based approach to problem solving and practice change. They use the UVA Health EBP process to identify, evaluate and implement evidence-based solutions in collaboration with the UBL, unit nurses, and other stakeholders.
• Unit-based Quality improvement (QI): The CNL works collaboratively with the UBL to proactively and reactively address quality and safety concerns on the unit.

Professional Development for Microsystem-Based Nursing and Nursing Support Staff:
  • Continually monitors new hires to evaluate progress toward competency goals, sharing this information with UBLs, collaborating with UBL on progress
  • Coaches and mentors nurses in ongoing clinical learning, continuing education, and national certifications.

  • Maintains knowledge of high priority microsystem strategic outcomes, desired benchmarks, practice patterns, and the interdisciplinary team
  • Coaches and mentors microsystem and organizational shared governance team members in all phases of the EBP process
  • Directs Clin 1s to NRP projects that reflect unit strategic goals
  • Mentors Clin 1s in EBP projects
  • Leads or coaches others in leading a regular nursing research journal club
  • Ensures that clinical improvements are correctly categorized (typically as EBP, QI, or Research), and that processes for each are followed in accordance with standards and policies of UVA Health

QI:
  • Knowledgeable of quality improvement methods
  • Provides direction to UBL regarding delineation of quality improvement, performance improvement, evidence-based practice and research.
  • Assists UBL with identification of root causes and implementation of evidence-based and education-related solutions
