Discuss how Evidence-Based Practice Proposal can be consistent with an organization’s culture

Introduction

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a systematic approach to making treatment decisions based on best evidence available. It aims to integrate clinical expertise, patient values and research outcomes in order to improve patient care and outcomes. In this blog post, we look at how EBP can be consistent with an organization’s culture or mission.

The goal of evidence-based practice (EBP) is to integrate the best available research with clinical expertise and patient values, improving patient care and outcomes.

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a systematic approach to clinical decision making that integrates the best available research with clinical expertise and patient values.

It’s designed to improve patient care and outcomes by using a process that focuses on:

• What we know about the problem or condition being addressed;

• How we think it works;

• How much evidence there is for our conclusions; * Where there isn’t enough evidence, what questions need to be answered before we can make an informed decision about whether it will work for our patients or not; * What would be reasonable treatment options based on what we know about this topic at this time in history.

Using a systematic approach to clinical decision making helps clinicians stay abreast of current research and applies the results of that research to improve the care they deliver to patients.

Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is a systematic approach to clinical decision making that helps clinicians stay abreast of current research and applies the results of that research to improve the care they deliver to patients. It requires a systematic approach, which means that all your decisions should be based on an evidence base. This can be achieved in different ways: by having a patient focus group or review process, using guidelines from professional bodies such as NICE or guidance from your employer’s governing body (for example, if you work for an NHS trust).

This systematic process can help standardize clinical care that provides high quality, cost-effective outcomes.

Evidence-based practice is a systematic process of clinical care that provides high quality, cost-effective outcomes. It can help standardize clinical care that provides high quality, cost-effective outcomes. EBP helps clinicians stay abreast of current research and improves the overall quality of patient care by basing decisions on evidence rather than personal opinion or preference.

This systematic process can help standardize clinical care that provides high quality, cost-effective outcomes. Evidence-based practice has been shown to improve patient safety by reducing error rates in medical decision making; reduce costs by preventing unnecessary treatment; improve health outcomes for patients who receive appropriate care (e.g., lower mortality rates); increase patient satisfaction with their doctors’ recommendations/decisions (e.g., fewer missed appointments because they didn’t need them); increase general satisfaction with healthcare services provided by hospitals/clinics across all specialties except cardiology where there exists no consensus yet on how best practices should be adopted after learning about new findings related specifically towards cardiac surgery procedures such as coronary artery bypass grafting surgery).

Incorporating an EBP model into daily practice is a significant change for most clinicians.

Incorporating an EBP model into daily practice is a significant change for most clinicians. It requires that you adopt a new mindset and approach to patient care, including the way you communicate with patients and other members of your team.

In addition to these changes, there are several other considerations when implementing an evidence-based practice proposal:

• Support from leadership. Your organization may have established guidelines for measuring quality improvement or clinical outcomes in its own way; however, if it hasn’t already done so, consider following the recommendations outlined by organizations such as The Joint Commission or Healthcare Effectiveness Data & Information Set (HEDIS). These organizations provide guidance on how to measure key indicators of quality improvement within hospitals across different populations (elderly versus young adults) as well as across settings such as academic medical centers vs community hospitals/primary care practices alike using various metrics such as mortality rates per 1000 admissions/day compared against national averages published annually by The Joint Commission’s Office of Quality Improvement & Patient Safety (OCQPS), CMS’ Star Ratings program which evaluates hospitals based on many factors including patient safety issues like infections after surgery caused by contaminated equipment used during procedures performed on those same patients later down line due to poor hygiene practices resulting from lackadaisical attitudes toward infection prevention techniques practiced among staff members working there during times while they were employed there before leaving job positions which resulted due poor communication skills between colleagues who might otherwise work together closely together but now not because there wasn’t any need anymore since nobody knew each other anymore since everyone had left their jobs long ago now(?)

A number of models have been developed to guide teams through the process of incorporating EBP into their practice.

A number of models have been developed to guide teams through the process of incorporating EBP into their practice.

• The Evidence-Based Medicine model was created by Sackett et al (1995) and has since been revised several times, most recently in 2011. It provides a framework for clinicians to use when making decisions based on evidence from research studies or clinical experience. This model helps clinicians make evidence-based decisions by providing them with information about how they can best use available resources, such as research findings or clinical experience, in order to treat patients with specific conditions effectively and safely

Other models have components designed specifically for use by interdisciplinary team members, since EBP requires communication and collaboration among disciplines.

Other models have components designed specifically for use by interdisciplinary team members, since EBP requires communication and collaboration among disciplines. For example, the framework of the IOM model incorporates an interdisciplinary approach through its six domains: evidence-based practice (EBP), research methods, implementation science, policy implementation and evaluation; research dissemination; healthcare delivery system improvement/quality improvement; health disparities prevention/nursing care integration; patient-centered care quality improvement.

The IOM’s framework also includes a section on “Building Community Partnerships” which includes steps to create partnerships between healthcare providers and other stakeholders such as patients or communities.[3]

The clinical guidelines model is based on the PICO (patient/problem, intervention, comparison, outcome) framework and involves six steps that translate scientific evidence into actionable recommendations for clinically appropriate practices specific to a particular patient population or group of patients.*

• The first step involves identifying a patient population. For example: “What are your patients like?” Or alternatively: “Who is your target audience?” The second step relies on identifying an intervention or treatment strategy; this may be as simple as suggesting that you write down what you do in your office every day and then look at how often you perform certain procedures (e.g., seeing one new patient every week). Finally comes comparing outcomes between two groups—for example comparing rates of recovery after surgery (or similar interventions) versus those who didn’t receive any follow-up care at all!

An EBP initiative needs clinician buy-in at all levels to be successful.

An EBP initiative needs clinician buy-in at all levels to be successful. This includes clinicians who are willing and able to use the evidence in their practice, patients who want their care guided by the best available evidence, leadership that will support change within your organization and a community that understands why you’re doing this work.

Conclusion

While there are many different models for implementing EBP in clinical practice, each one has a unique structure that fits the culture of an organization. The goal is to use your expertise and values as clinicians to guide you through a systematic approach that improves patient care and outcomes while staying abreast of current research. If you’re looking at implementing an EBP initiative in your practice, then it’s important to consider the cultural issues at play when going about doing so.
