The profession of nursing has embraced evidence based practice (EBP) as evidence based care combines evidence from research, clinical experience, and patient preferences that help us to ensure that patient care is effective, considerate, and cost effective for facilities and the population served, while meeting the specific needs of each patient Research that leads to EBP tells nurses and health care providers what practices/treatments that work, what does not work, and with whom and where they work best.
An example of EBP is that the Affordable Car Act requires that all reimbursable treatments follow the guidelines and recommendations made by the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF). The USPSTF recommendations are derived from
It was a privilege to work with Laura on a team rehabilitating a severely impaired brainstem CVA patient. She uses evidence based practice to modify treatment approaches to promote positive outcomes for both her patients physical needs as well as cognitive-communicative needs. A perfect example of this was scheduling her PT session prior to an SLP comm/cog session with increasing cardiovascular effort to promote improved cognitive
In the Franciscan program change team used evidence based practice by doing the following: Identifying a problem, the problem being that physicians and systems do not reliably address the needs of people approaching death. The team researched the evidence and found that unlike most other population management programs, that addressing the needs of people approaching death does not depend on laboratory values, medications, or strict service utilization algorithms to target individuals and Instead it relies on physician perceptions. When physicians were ask to refer patients that were gravely ill who would benefit from it supportive services the evidence showed that the request was to vague and to difficult to incorporate into practice and
With Reference to the CYP IAPT Core Principles, critically discuss Evidence Based Practice and Routine Outcome Monitoring and the challenges of implementing these within the modality of parenting and within the wider context of practise within the children centres Introduction Studies published by Green, Meltzer, McGinnity, Goodman and Ford in 2004 estimated that 9.6% or nearly 850,000 children and young people aged between 5 -16 had a mental health disorder and it was estimated that a staggering 76% of those CYP with anxiety and depression disorders were not accessing mental health services compared to 35% of adults. As a result of such studies, The children and young people’s improving Access to Psychological Therapies programme (CYP IAPT) was conceived and aimed to transform the delivery of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CHAMS) across England. CYP IAPT has four core principles, Evidence Based Practice (EBP), Routine Outcome Monitoring (ROM), Participation, and Reflective Practice. This essay will focus on the two principles of EBP and ROM and will consider the challenges of implementing these within the modality of parenting and within the wider context of practise within the children centres.
Evidence-based practice is the use of the best available evidence together with a clinician 's expertise and a patient 's values and preferences in making health care decisions. In your discussion, you focus on reducing reduce healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Therefore, it needs a Program that works to expand the available evidence base for evidence-based practice and to ensure clinicians have the tools to put this knowledge base into practice. AHRQ offers several curriculum tools that health care professionals can use to make care safer and improve their communication and teamwork skills. To help you and your patients get the most out of your time together, AHRQ offers these free resources that you can use with your team and share
Evidence Based Intervention Case Information Mary has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease at a moderate level. She also has other health issues including high blood pressure, diabetes and depression. Her husband, John has these additional health issues as well and is currently Mary’s caregiver. They receive home health services as well. John understands that Mary will need to go to a nursing home at some point, but would like to keep her at home for as long as possible.
As the new era of psychology approaches the idea evidence-base program is used especially for the social service field. A vast majority of programs has been developing around the world aimed at helping individuals in the community suffering from various illnesses. In this paper, the reader should expect the definition of evidence-base programs, an appropriate questions and elements used in choosing an evidence-based program, an explanation of an evidence continuum that is consider valid, a detailed view of the pros, and cons use for evidence-based programs, a summary that evaluates the concept of evidence-based programs and proposal of how the concept is utilized.
Evidence-Based Practice and The Quadruple Aim Dawn Renee Henderson College of Nursing, Walden University NURS – 6052 C, Essentials of Evidence-Based Practice Dr. Linda Johanson Sunday, March 5, 2023 Evidence-Based Practice and The Quadruple Aim Evidence-based practice (EBP) is an approach that involves integrating the best available evidence with clinical expertise and patient preferences to inform clinical decision-making. The Quadruple Aim framework is a widely recognized model in healthcare that aims to optimize healthcare outcomes by focusing on four key areas: improving patient experience, enhancing population health, reducing healthcare costs, and improving the work-life of healthcare providers. EBP can support the Quadruple Aim
Evidence based practice (EBP) is a process of integrating high quality evidence into practice or care provided by health professionals and decision makers in health care. This discussion will explore the meaning of the term Evidence Based Practice further and discuss its origins. EBP requires finding the best available evidence to inform practice, its greatest benefit being the best possible care for a client. Other benefits and limitations will be further discussed below. EBP demands the client be seen as an individual and their unique circumstances be considered in the application of evidence
For this week’s discussion post I will identify a situation where evidence-based practice has been applied in my workplace. Evidence-based guidelines are put in place and into practice after research has been completed. This helps with intertwining practice and research and are established by professional organizations, government agencies, institutions, or expert panels (LoBiondo-Wood & Haber, 2014). These clinical guidelines give clinicians findings to help in the decision making process of diseases or treatments. In developing evidence-based practice, a clinical question must first be put into place.
Evidence based practice (EBP) is to demonstrate the best practice, which has been supported, with a clear rationale to back it up, while acknowledging the patient/clients best interest. In this professional outline it will be discussed why EBP is so important to start with student nurses career and continuing throughout the nursing career and the second main point will be on the impact it has on patient outcomes regardless of discipline. I believe if this mind set is instilled early in the nurses career the practice will evolve it a more proactive
Introduction Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt (2019) defined Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) as a problem-solving approach to clinical decision-making. It involves using the best available evidence through a systematic search and critical appraisal of relevant evidence, combined with clinical expertise and patient preferences, to improve individual, group, community, and system outcomes. EBP is a lifelong approach to clinical decision-making that combines the best available evidence with clinical expertise and patient values to improve outcomes (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2019). The University of Missouri Hospital, locally known as MU Health Care, is an organization that emphasizes its mission, vision, and values, all critical elements of evidence-based practice.
The goal is to improve the health and safety of patient while also providing care in a cost-effective manner to improve the outcome for both the patient and the health care system at large. According to Melyn and Fineout-overholt(2005)Evidence-based practice should be a problem-solving approach to clinical practice that integrates a systematic search for critical appraisal of the most relevant evidence to answer a burning clinical question.
In the clinical setting, the nurses’ expertise can be used to make clinical assessments and recommendations for routine care at a lower cost than a physician visit. This would increase the number of patients seen and increase the quality of the care provided. The advance practice nurse would be able to hone in on preventative measures and increase patient education. The advance practice nurse can also make recommendations about practice changes needed to facilitate better health outcomes through the use of evidence-based practice. Nursing leaders are aware of how important nursing science is to provide needed evidence to transform practice, even though, finding the time and resources to support any research activity is often challenging (Stone, 2017).
Before EBP was imbedded into healthcare, nurses relied in the advice of senior nurses and what they learned through education and trial and error. Floranc enightengal ……. However, it wasn’t until the mid-1800s that evidence-based medicine had its beginnings, but did not come into play until the year of 1972. Through many years different modifications, various groups of nurses have drafted their own versions of evidence-based practice guidelines into play.
Giving care to a patient is not a straightforward process because a patient is made up of advanced systems. Symptoms and the severity of a disease process are dependent on a particular patient, and it may not always be uniform from patient to patient. Because of this, nurses must be able to use their knowledge appropriately to help a patient. Nurses use techniques, such as Evidence Based Practice, in order to integrate new and advanced knowledge into their patient care (Canada, 2016). By exercising evidence based practice, nurses effectively seek knowledge, take experience from past situations, and apply this intelligence to best give patient care (Canada, 2016).
