Evidence Based Practice Process: A Case Study

Decent Essays
Mara,
Your posting, does a fantastic job in breaking down steps zero and step one of evidence based practice process. Similarly, when appropriate steps are not taken or particular steps are skipped in an operational process failure often occurs. A clinical example of this is when a patient is about to be discharged from a hospital after breaking their right ankle with pins placed, the patient commonly asks questions evaluating what to expect at home with healing (step zero). Then once the patient is in their own environment, events and situations become true test (establishing keywords). The patient really wants to cut the lawn but recall’s discharge restricts were given, such as no strenuous activity for example, cutting the lawn (step 1)

    The three parts to evidence based practice include: External Evidence, Clinical Expertise, and client/family wishes. External Evidence is research from a peer reviewed article. Clinicians use their knowledge on therapy goals to have the best therapy session. The clinician uses research they found to support their conclusion on the clients therapy goals. Clinical Expertise is data results that relate to the goal and discussing the client abilities or skills for that goal.…

    Throughout the entire semester, I incorporated evidence based practice into my clinical days. Whether if I was performing a skill or if I was observing my nurse do a skill, I was thinking is this evidence based. I observed nurses use water instead of alcohol to clean an area on the skin before pricking a patient’s finger for a blood glucose check; this I knew was evidenced based. Some none evidence based thing that I observed were using 5/8inch needles when the nurse should have been using a 1inch length or not using two hands when assessing a patient’s fundus. I met my midterm goal of telling the nurse nicely that this is not what we learned in school.…

    Implementation of evidence based practice in our clinical settings results in improved health, safety, lower cost, decrease in patient mortality and morbidity (Melnyk& Fineout- Overholt, 2015). An example is the EBP of using acupuncture as a means to alleviate pain as seen in the video with the soldiers of war. Even though there is available evidence and literature about the outcome of using acupuncture, many people have the mindset that drugs are the only way to treat pain or other diseases. When patients know that their care is driven by EBP guidelines being implemented by their clinicians, there is an achievement of optimal outcome (Melnyk & Fineout- Overholt,…

    For evidence-base practice to be implemented there are many variables at play. First, the nurse leader needs to promote evidence-base practice by creating a positive culture, encouraging discussion at routine meetings, giving nurses the freedom to question how to do things differently, support staff in implementation by giving direction, and designating money in the budget and time for it. Plus, nurse leaders have the duty to verbalize the association of using evidence-base practice and achieving the organization’s mission with those throughout the organization (Huber,…

    Evidence based practice is so important in the current healthcare world. When evidence based practice is at the center of any organization, there is great improvement in practice and patient outcome. “Only 55% of the time, patients get the evidence-based practice needed for their plan of treatment (IOM 2001). The institute for healthcare improvement, launched 100,000 Lives Campaign enrolled more than 3,000 hospitals, representing an estimated 75 percent of U.S. hospitals beds, which implemented up to six evidence-based and life-saving interventions. In eighteen months, the campaign prevented an estimated 122,300 deaths through the implementation of these six evidence-based practices across the country.”…

    Evidence-based practice is a very important part of taking care of patients. “Evidence based research involves collecting, evaluating, and implementing to improve patient care and outcomes (Why Evidence-Based Practive is Vital to Improving Patient Care, 2016).” To me this quote says the most important parts of evidence-based practice. I felt the Stevens (2013) article contained a good amount of detailed information pertaining to evidence-based practice. In one section of the Stevens article the author wrote “…underlying belief that research produces the most reliable knowledge… that a given strategy will change a patient’s current health status into desired outcome (Stevens, 2013).”…

    Thus far we have learned a great deal about the development and implementation of the evidence based practice (EBP) guidelines, now the next important step would be how to effectively apply the EBP to clinical practice. According to Field and Lohr (1990), "Clinical practice guidelines are systematically developed statements to assist practitioner and patient decisions about appropriate health care for specific clinical circumstances." (p. 38). What I liked most about this statement and would like to place emphasis on is “assist…patient decisions about appropriate health care for clinical circumstances” (p.38). Not only is educating the patient about the most recent data on caring for them is essential but how you deliver the message to the…

    PARIHS Scenarios Framework

    • 1082 Words
    • 5 Pages

    According to LoBiondo-Wood and Haber (2014), the situation specific theories “are narrow in scope, explain a small aspect of phenomena and processes of interest to nurses, and are usually limited to specific populations or field of practice (p. 82). The research and practice are closely connected in the situation-specific theory. In addition, I think that it would be appropriate to apply a broader framework to this presented article such as the Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services Framework (PARIHS). The theory of the PARIHS framework is that the success of evidence implementation depends on three necessary elements: evidence, context, and facilitation. Ullrich, Sahay, and Stetler (2014) stated that “successful implementation is most likely to occur when (a) scientific evidence is viewed as aligning with professional and patient beliefs, (b) healthcare context is receptive to implementation, including supportive leadership, culture and evaluation systems, and (c) mechanisms are in place to facilitate implementation” (p.…

    It is combined with clinical judgments and patient’ preferences to obtain an outcome which is the best quality cost -effectiveness of patient care. It is not only important for nurses to know the right thing to do but also to know why it is the right thing to do. For example some nurses know that a particular method must be implemented but ignore the scientific reasoning behind it, which means they don’t know what research support the method. Some nurses implement evidence based practice method without questioning the reason why are they putting it into practice. For nurses to get committed to evidence based practice they must know strategies to search for many relevant information from publications currently available.…
