The biggest barriers to the use of evidence-based practice (EBP) in a clinical setting are knowledge and resources. Of the described EBP models the ACE Star model most resembles the framework used within our system. The ACE Star model is a five step process which includes in order, knowledge discovery, evidence summary, translation into practice recommendations, integration into practice and evaluation (DeNisco & Barker, 2016, p. 467). While EBP information and guidelines are regularly…

Define a Clinical question The questions arise in a patient encounter can easily be answered via the experience or reviewing a textbook or an article.these questions can be about harm,diagnosis, prognosis or treatment . In evidence based diagnosis kind of questions as above mentioned can be answered more accurately by following EBM steps. First the health care provider should make an answerable question which can be answered by a research study.These questions can be background or Foreground…

Falls are one of the most common injury in a health care facility. It is the leading cause of “morbidity and mortality for people older than 65 years” (Touhy & Jet, 2012, p. 207). This age group is common in Windsor Manor Rehabilitation Center in Concord, California. Most of the patients in Windsor are older adults with impaired cognition, gait, visual acuity, and muscle strength, and experiencing chronic pain – putting them in high risk for falling. In fact, their CASPER Report (2016) states…

Introduction Evidence-based practice is most often defined as “integrating individual clinical expertise with the best available external clinical evidence from systemic research”. (Sackett, 1996). This is where the art of nursing and the science of nursing become one, and the result is to produce the best possible outcome for the patient in the clinical area, and promote a higher quality of life. Nursing has changed dramatically since its beginning in the 16th century where the religious…

The application of evidence-based practice (EBP) in nursing has created substantial impressions in science, education, and practice in the discipline. The field does not develop new nursing knowledge or validate existing data; rather, it enables medical practitioners to use tried and tested techniques to make clinical decisions. This paper review literature to reveal the way EBP incorporates patient values, preferences, and clinical experiences in nursing practice. The analysis section…

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…

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…

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…
