Introduction
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is vital for the delivery of quality healthcare, which improves patients’ health outcomes. EBP is characterized by the integration of clinical expertise and experience, patient values and preferences, and ideal evidence (DiCenso, Guyatt & Ciliska, 2014). Various steps must be fulfilled to achieve EBP in practice. Firstly, clinicians must assess the patient. Secondly, they must question the patient, on issues regarding their preferences and values. Thirdly, they must conduct research to appraise the patients’ clinical cases. Fourthly, they must evaluate the credibility of the resources used in the research. Fifthly, they must apply the information collected and integrate it with their clinical skills …show more content…
This approach is important for various reasons. First, it enables nurses to render care that meets the patients’ needs (consumer-directed care). This, in turn, improves patient satisfaction thus, increasing the likelihood of improved health outcomes. Second, it ensures that patients are more engaged in issues regarding their health. As a result, patients can take charge of their health. This also increases the likelihood of improved health outcomes. Typically, the person-centred approach is important because it facilitates the provision of patient-directed care, which is founded on the patients’ needs, preferences, values, and expectation. Patient-directed care in turn boosts the quality of health outcomes, by ensuring the provision of meaningful and relevant care. Overall, this approach enables registered nurses to encompass patient values in clinical decision-making, by facilitating shared decision making. The concept of shared decision-making, perceives the patient as an active partner in clinical decision-making (Elwyn et al., 2012). It enables registered nurses to take note of patients’ needs and preferences thus, making it easier for them to make informed and patient-directed …show more content…
Expertise entails a vital for the provision of quality health care. Clinical expertise refers to the cognitive tools, which facilitate the appropriate interpretation and application of evidence-based information (Hoffmann, Bennett & Mar, 2013). Expertise is comprised of various imperative aspects. They include knowledge, experience, professional education, and skills. Clinicians require skills, experience, knowledge, and education related to leadership, development, and teamwork particularly, if expertise will be used to inform the clinical decision making
