Introduction Formulating the necessary requirements to undergo evidenced based practice, within an organization it is integral to aspect differing response to change. Forecasting potential obstacles, hardship and patient response to change can be a relatively difficult undertaking, implementing the Organizational readiness for evidence-based practice tool proves to be a formidable way to assess organization readiness. Within the following passages this writer plans to review in word form, her…

Your knowledge specific to recent healthcare seems to be comprehensive especially as it ties to the notion of universal healthcare and its current form as the ACA. I think we have to go back a bit further though based on the question of the evolution of healthcare over the pat 10,000 years and how the Greeks and the Egyptians affected how our healthcare system looks today. Hippocrates for example was known for his documented his medical practices so that others could use his data to learn from…

Evidence based practice directly impacts the care we provide our patients and improve current practices. According to Jones (2014), “Practicing health professionals are able to offer a distinct perspective from academic researchers, making their contributions to the development of healthcare services research very important”. As healthcare providers it is important that we are active in research and look for ways to improve the care that is provided to patients. Nurses can provide invaluable…

Fain (2013), states that “evidence-based practice relies on evidence from research and refers to clinicians making an effort to integrate research findings into clinical thinking and decision making (p. 5). Fain also goes to state that we, as nurses, can improve the roles of nursing by asking questions such as “What is the best evidence for this practice?” or “What are the highest achievable outcomes for the patient, family, and nurse?” (p. 5). Where I currently work, I triage individuals that…

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is known as the integration of best research evidence, clinical expertise, and consideration of patient value. ASHA addresses ways in which the principles of evidence-based practice are to be incorporated into clinical decision making. Speech-language pathologists (SLPS) are expected to recognize and integrate the needs, values, and interests of clients and families receiving services with the best current research and their clinical expertise. EBP has become an…

Digging to Heaven Long before man there was the Kingdom of Haldarum. This was one of the five kingdoms of dwarves. These kingdoms were in constant competition to become wealthier than one another. All of the dwarves are encouraged to mine. Each week there is a tally on who mined the most. Each dwarf got to pick what he or she wanted to mine. Some metals, like iron were more abundant but worth less to the dwarves. Others, like gold, were extremely hard to mine, but were worth more to the…

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…

“Where the art of medicine is loved, there is also a love of humanity -Hippocrates.” This quote is extremely relevant to “the pioneer of medical education” John Morgan. John Morgan was a doctor who founded the first medical school in America. Morgan was born on June 10, 1735 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He later died on October 15, 1789 in Philadelphia. Morgan was born to Evan Morgan, an immigrant from Wales, and Joanna Biles. After a classical education at West Nottingham Academy in Maryland,…

“It’s obvious that the same thing isn’t going to put up with doing or undoing opposite things in the same respect and in relation to the same thing at the same time, so presumably if we find that happening in the things in question, we’ll know that they’re not the same, but more than one thing (Republic IV 436C). He then tells us how reason and desire are different. Reason is different than desire because the desire of thirst would only deal with the thirst only. If both desire and thirst acted…

Melinda and Melissa have a very hard decision to make. Their brother, Matthew, was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident that leaves him incapacitated with the only sign of life being hooked up to life support equipment. According to his “living will” both sisters must equally agree upon the most critical decision of having medical staff “pull the plug,” or not. This is a huge decision that will take much consideration upon both sisters to reach a common ground with one another. Each…
