Result 6 we observed a successful result in the weekly intervention. During the first 26 weeks when there was not intervention the results were poor on with a minimum points of 20, which indicates a poor result. However, week 27 show an increase of 55 which is an indicator of a good intervention. By week 52 with a result of 80 points we determined that the interventions are effective. Also, this make thing that without intervention the results will be poor, however the increment is good, but it may be more intervention to be done in order to keep the good result.…
a systematic approach to practice that emphasizes the use of the best evidence in combination with the clinicians experience, as well as the patients preferences and values, to make decisions about care and treatment. clinical decision making depends on all four factors:…

Evaluation may be developmental, intended to deliver direction for the development and implementation of an outcome-oriented (Billings & Halstead, 2012). Evidence-based practice (EBP) is decision- making on the care delivery to patients, which is based on current identified and validated research evidence, consumers’ preferences, expert opinions and society expectation(Adams & Barron, 2010). This requires the baccalaureate nurses to make clinical decision pertaining to patient’s care. Therefore, the best clinical decision -making should be based on EBP with the intention to achieve quality patient…

For checking the quality management and health care statistics I did an in depth comparison of two health care institutes. I have done the comparison of a hospital, River Hospital, INC and a Nursing home, Apex Rehabilitation and Care Center. By comparing the information available at the CMS site about these two we can easily assess the Quality Management and Health Care Statistics.…
(BMA, 2008; Lilford et al., 2008). Instead both process and outcome measures should be used in combination (Berry et al., 2015). An example comparing hospital performance in treating heart attacks through assessment of mortality outcomes can be used in support. In this study, Mant and Hicks (1995) suggest that measuring process indicators based on evidence-based interventions is increasingly effective in recognising significant differences between hospitals than outcome measurements. However, regardless of whether process or outcome measures are used in practise, it is essential that the choice is made based on the best available evidence. In addition, the whole medical profession, patients, carers and representative groups should be involved in order for patients to get the highest quality care, and achieve a successful change in the health service (BMA,…
care patients are receiving and to improve the quality of care given. Healthcare workers should be identifying the root causes of outcomes, regardless of the outcome. Tracking of these outcomes, recognizing the differences and similarities of each, and making changes to the care provided based on this information is evidenced-based practice. Nursing-sensitive indicators are categorized into one of three areas of nursing: structural, process, and outcome. Structural indicators include adequate staffing and education and experience levels of the nurses providing the care. Those with higher levels of education and experience are said to have better outcomes than those with less experience and/or education. Process…
As the healthcare industry is making rapid advance, many health organizations are faced with new methods and procedures in regards to quality care. Evidence-based practice can be defined as decisions that are made based off of previous knowledge and research. The combination of clinical expertise and evidence gained through clinical research results in the method of evidence-based practice (Atkins, Fink & Slutsky 2005).…
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is an interdisciplinary approach to clinical practice that has been gaining ground following its formal introduction in 1992. It started in medicine as evidence-based medicine (EBM) and spread to other fields such as dentistry, nursing, psychology, education, library and information science and other fields. Its basic principles are that all practical decisions made should 1) be based on research studies and 2) that these research studies are selected and interpreted according to some specific norms characteristic for EBP. Typically such norms disregard theoretical and qualitative studies and consider quantitative studies according to a narrow set of criteria of what counts as evidence. If such a narrow set of…

This paper will propose how TriCity Medical Center will monitor performance, achieve regulatory and accreditation compliance, and improve overall organizational performance. It will describe ways TCMC will communicate with leadership to ensure alignment of organizational goals and gain buy-in from staff to achieve compliance with the standards and requirements issued by regulatory and accreditation bodies. Also it will determine how compliance with the regulations and development of risk- and quality-management systems for the organization contributes to the organization’s overall performance-management system.…
