Evidence-Based Practice In The Healthcare Industry

Evaluating EvidenceBefore research should be used in practice, it must be evaluated. There are many complexities and nuances in evaluating the research evidence for clinical practice. Evaluation of research behind evidence-based medicine requires critical thinking

validated through research (Monti & Tingen, 1999). This author believes that the basis of a good practice is through the use of evidence based findings. If the procedure or care plan is supported by research, and the findings are reproducible, then this author is more likely to implement it into his practice.

Evidence-based practice is an approach used by health care professionals to continually use current best evidence-based research to make ethical and reliable decisions regarding patient care. “Research to promote evidence-based practice is becoming more and more a part of the regular work of health care leaders” (Grand Canyon University, 2015, p. 1). However, it is important to determine the difference between solid research and flawed research that provides unreliable inferences. Evidence-based research includes focusing on a clinical question; and includes the review and incorporation of several studies to strengthen the results of the new study (Grand Canyon University, 2015). Roddy et al. and Ganz et al. articles will be assessed to determine if the recommended changes were backed by solid research that warrants changes in a hospital.

The incorporation of evidenced-based practice (EBP) into nursing practice is supported by research to positively improve the quality of care and improve patient outcomes. EBP is important to the nursing profession because it also leads to increased job satisfaction, teamwork, and levels of engagement in clinicians (Melnyk, et al., 2017). Miniature research projects such as quality improvement projects, surveys, and clinical research studies are frameworks used to get feedback and data from patients during their time spent in health care systems. EBP is not the standard of care in many health care systems (Melnyk, et al., 2017). This due to many factors, including lack of EBP mentors, nursing programs that do not incorporate EBP into the curriculum,

Once the survey is complete there are nurses within the organization that will review the suggestions and determine its value based on evidenced based practice. Evidence based is important to be used because it can support changes that need to made within the organization (International Council of Nurses, 2012). “When enough research evidence is available, the practice should be guided by research evidence in conjunction with clinical expertise and patient values” (Titler, 2008).

Evidence based practice is the combination of clinical expertise, patient values and the best research evidence into the decision making process in order to have a better care for the patient. It’s a patient focused practice so the clinician should make use of the best recent evidence from the research along with patient’s preferences. According to Fineout-Overholt and Stillwell (2015), “formulating the clinical question is like identifying the characteristics of the needle”(p.25). The clinical research question asked ideally defines the best research design for the study. To ease doubt and facilitate getting the right information at the right time, EBP stresses first asking a well-built question, then searching the literature for an answer

Implementing a project for a change requires patience and time. Presenting the issue to the staffs is not an easy task. There will be resistance and disagreement that the issue persists. According to Stevens, even though the evidence-based practices are embraced in the microsystem by nurses, there will be impediments in employing it into practice (2013). Showing the evidences and explaining the reason why the change is urgent ensure cooperation. Teaching the health care providers of the organization’s policy regarding restraint and the recommendation of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as well as The Joint Commission (TJC) will enhance compliance and improve patient outcome by providing a safe environment for the patients,

Research is how new knowledge is generated or how existing knowledge is validated based on theory (Conner, 2014). It identifies facts and trends. Identification is important but without the information being analyzed and put into a usable context it cannot be used. This is where evidence-based practice comes in. It collects and analyzes research that was performed, and combines it with a clinician’s personal experience along

The need for quality evidence based research is essential for all health care professions. As agreed by Stevens (2013), the call for evidence based quality improvements and health care transformation underscores the need for redesigning care that is safe effective and efficient.

Electronic Healthcare Systems (EHR) combined with Evidence Based Practice will increase the quality, timeliness, and safety in the healthcare system. Presently Evidence Based Practices are continuously being developed in order to provide patients with the highest and most accurate level of care. But, how do the providers keep pace with the rapid growth of information, evidence, studies and data? As Nelson and Staggers described, in order for the EBP to be successful, the evidence must be attainable and at hand (2014, p.42). Hence, health informatics is united with EBP to achieve preeminent standards of patient care.

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the primary concept in nursing when it comes to determining clinical decisions on patient care, however, according to Hamrick, Hanson, Tracy, and O’Grady (2014), it is a technique that is often not utilized enough. The author’s further stated that providers lack the understanding of the process, which limits their ability to apply it in clinical settings.

Evidence-based practices (EBP) develop from the combination of excellent research evidence with the needs of the patient and clinical knowledge or skills. EBP promotes health care that enhances the quality, values, and reliability of patient care, improving health outcomes, and reducing costs, and disparity in patient care (Burn, Grove, 2009). When EBP is delivered, the best clinical decisions are made and the results are positive patient outcomes (Makic, Martin, Burns, Philbrick, & Rauen, 2013).

An improvement based on evidence or factual data such as measurements, rankings, or ratings can show that the evidence collected was measured and tested. The purpose of conducting research is to generate new knowledge or to validate existing knowledge based on a theory or evidence. EBP applies this knowledge and evidence to a clinical decision making problem, and CQI uses a data-guided approach to improve processes or outcomes (Conner, 2014). Using evidence for a clinical problem provides best practice and outcomes for the patient. This becomes the standard of practice and needs to be followed.

It was very nice from you put yourself on another people situation. Most of the time people is not that thoughtful and do not think about the people who are not the luck. It is definitely an OT approach, think about others and imagine how hard can be living without insurance. I really think about the OT situation in the case of people who uninsured and this is a very good point that we should reflect about before give our opinion about the health care propose.

External validity is the degree to which the results of a research study can be generalized to and across other populations, settings, times and tasks. The threats to external validity compromise a
