Virtual Healthcare Hot Topics Journal Club

Introducing the Virtual Healthcare Hot Topics Journal Club! Cindy Ward, DNP, RN-BC, CMSRN, ACNS-BC Research Council Unit Outreach Subcommittee

The Unit Outreach Subcommittee of the Research Council has started a virtual journal club to provide an opportunity to read and discuss issues of concern in healthcare. The journal club is open to any employee. The most exciting thing about the Healthcare Hot Topics

Journal Club is that it is virtual! Using the Teams platform will allow participants to post their comments and opinions when it is convenient for them.

A new discussion will be started every one to two months. There will be a channel for each new topic with the article posted in the Files section. Discussion questions for the article will be located in the Wiki.

A separate tab will give access to the evaluation form. Please complete the evaluation to let us know your opinion about the journal club and what future topics you’d like to discuss.

Participation in a journal club can be used to fulfill the Research criteria for RN 2. The subcommittee will discuss ways journal club participation could be added to RN 3 and 4 criteria and make recommendations to the CAP Committee.
