Factors the instructor should consider prior to the selection of an evidence-based teaching strategy include the knowledge level of the student, content being taught, and the student learning objectives for the presentation (Billings & Halstead, 2012). In this paper, the content being presented to a Med Surg I class is related to the care of a patient with a post-surgical wound infection. Successful completion of the course Fundamentals of Nursing is a pre-requisite to the Med Surg I course, thus the students are assumed to have acquired a fundamental knowledge base of the nursing practice prior to taking Med Surg I. Considering the students and the content to be presented, the instructor could choose from multiple evidence-based teaching…
Introduction: A conceptual model is a representation of concepts which are used to help people know, understand or simulate a subject represents. Moreover, a model is used to create the various hypothesis which can be used to test in the laboratory study or which can be utilized for explaining in a case study. The goal of this assignment is to explore three models of evidence-based practice (EBP) that may interest the authors and give an explanation. Although several models are used in research, this paper will only highlight three specific models and provide a summary, strengths, weaknesses and a model that will be utilized by in a particular practice.…
It’s important to stay up to date on coding changes. To be a truly viable coder it’s absolutely necessary to stay informed about what’s taking place in the industry. Having a membership with AAPC and AHIMA has shown me the importance of staying current and these memberships are a great way to do it. Continuing education is necessary to keep your certification credential current, but the classes, webinars, and seminars will also help you stay informed of new developments that will affect you on the job. By keeping current you can be an asset to your organization and that can be good for you when it comes time for promotions and raises.…
On the other hand, evidence-based practice is about utilizing that evidence and applying in clinical decision making(Conner, 2014). This evidence comes from research. The purpose of evidence-based practice is to use the best available evidence when making patient-care decisions. In other words, when we encounter certain situations when providing care to our patients, there will be several different ways of solving the problem; as nurses, we must use to best one to arrive at the best possible outcomes. One important distinction between research and evidence-based practice is that evidence-based practice takes into account the patient 's preferences for interventions(Fitzpatrick, 2016).…
This literature review will examine the pre-existing research undertaken on family presence during adult resuscitation (FPDAR) to determine health professional attitudes and experiences in critical care environments regarding FPDAR within Europe. The topic FPDAR was chosen due to the authors experience whilst in placement of a family member being refused permission to remain with their loved one during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The reason the family member was refused permission to remain at the bedside was because there was no hospital policy that stated if a family member was or was not permitted to remain. The author wanted to understand why FPDAR was not being encouraged in practice as the role of a nurse is to provide patient with…
The healthcare system as a whole is a complex machine that I, as a future nurse practitioner, will have to navigate and carefully operate. It is a collage of several networks, including, consumers, providers, insurance companies, and the government; working together towards the ever elusive goal of cohesion. As a future nurse practitioner my role in this system is to understand the workings of this system and work within its confines to promote the best outcome for my patients. In addition, in order to be effective as a nurse practitioner, emphasis must also be placed on evidence based practice. Research is essential to healthcare and as a provider I must provide care based on best practice and evidence based practice.…
In healthcare, compliance means meeting all applicable healthcare compliance and regulatory requirements, e.g. CMS, OIG, DOJ, TJC, HFAP, NCQA, DNV GL, etc. Organizations essentially meet all requirements set forth and applicable to them based on a broad scope of criteria. The continual changes in healthcare often cause struggle for organizations to understand every element of compliance. Saint Luke’s well-defined policy provides the processes for verifying and monitoring different types of sanctions, the systems used to carry out the functions, and the methodology for investigating practitioner alerts during ongoing monitoring.…
Healthcare is an ever changing and evolving entity. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010 has forced Healthcare to revaluate and focus on new ideas and trends in order to adhere to the rules and regulations set by the ACA. The laboratory is an integral component of the healthcare industry. The laboratory is part of the “front-line” in patient diagnosis and treatment.…
There are new rules, new standards, new technologies, and new solutions to merge into the daily operations of a health care delivery system (Page, 2001). Therefore, hospital professionals and staff should constantly be educated on the changing guidelines. To do so, online training programs and on-site training should be used to train the healthcare staff on how to deliver care in the most effective and efficient ways, as well as train on how to improve patient care. Continuing education of the health care staff would help reduce treatments and managing…
The profession of nursing involves a variety of different concepts and skills. The ANA Standards of Professional Performance describe a competent level of the behavior in the professional role (page 3 book). These standards help to make sure that nurses provide the best possible care to their patients and so that the nurses know what qualities are needed to meet the professional standards. There is a great importance to the Standards of Professional Performance. By having standards that nurses have to up hold to, there is no question of such standards.…
To apply the role of nurse as scientist I will use the framework model element of evidence-based practice. To achieve this, I will use evidence coupled with my clinical experience as well as the patients and family’s desires to deliver optimum healthcare (WGU, 2013). A goal I have is to gain my certification as an orthopedic nurse. This will help ensure I get up to date on current best practices in my field. By doing so I will also be able to help review policies and procedures and address outdated practice guidelines to ensure the implementation of evidence-based care to our…
As we know that there is a relationship between research and practice it is imperative that nurses know what research qualifies any method that they have to put into practice In order to individualize patients’ needs instead of generalize care. What makes research so credible is because experiments are used to conclude any theories that scientists put in study. Different experiments must be performed in order to achieve the best evidence of a theory. Therefore, it is important for nurses to update their knowledge by always informing themselves about any current new researches.…
It is essential for nurses to acquire search strategies and know where to search for Evidence based research in order to adopt evidence based practice, acquaint themselves with new research findings which will help nurses to develop, upgrade, and become competent in their skills ( Sewell & Thede, 2013, p. 199). In addition, competent nurses will educate their patients on what to do to be safe and live a healthy lifestyle.…

On my fifth week, I will identify the strength and barriers when implementing EBP to ensure its effectiveness. On my sixth week I need to find a strategic plan to improve the adherence of EBP in the clinical settings. On my seventh week, I would like to study how education plays an important role when implementing evidenced-based practice, so the healthcare staff can continue to support the new thinking and ideas. On my eighth week, I will gather information about evidence based practice that has worked from the past.…
