Medicine has changed over the years as we discover new and safer ways to approach different situations. These changes mainly occur because of evidence-based practice. In this discussion board I will describe how organizational infrastructure and culture assistance the implementation of nursing evidence-based practices.

The PICOT Model formulates the clinical questions. The PICOT Model has five steps, P: patient/population, I: intervention, C: current practice, O: outcome, T: time. The Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice to Promote Quality Care emphasis the importance of considering the entire healthcare system from the provider to the patient and it gives large systems an effective, team-centered approach to implement evidence-based practice in the clinical setting and is used for sweeping, system-wide changes in practice. The Iowa model has seven steps, the seven steps are identify a problem or new knowledge, prioritize the issues and form a team, team reviews, critiques and synthesizes the evidence…

In preparation for her meeting with the Unit Practice Council, Michele needs to be able to explain what evidence-based practice is and why adopting evidence-based practice will be beneficial to the unit. “Evidence-based practice is a problem-solving approach to clinical decision making within a health care organization. It integrates the best available scientific evidence with the best available experiential (patient and practitioner) evidence. EBP considers internal and external influences on practice and encourages critical thinking in the judicious application of such evidence to the care of individual patients, a patient population, or a system” (Newhouse, Dearholt, Poe, Pugh,&White,…
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…

The scientist role was fulfilled in several courses looking at issues and finding a solution. The Evidence Based Practice Course I examined the issue of poor communication and the effects on patient care, proposed a solution example being implementation of bedside reporting and analyzed the results with the increase in patient satisfaction. The scientist role does just that finds a problem, looks for a solutions and examines the results, if the results are not positive or solve the problem the issues is reassessed and the experiment starts again until the problem or issue is resolved. The detective role was fulfilled during the Community and Population Health Course. I did my research or detective work of my community. Looking at the who,…
The use of evidence based practice in healthcare assist with providing the best and current practice and improving patient outcome (Boswell.c., & Cannob, S. 2012). According to Hopp and Rittenmeyer (2012), evidence based practice is define as the continuous and current use if the best evidence in decision making about the care of each patients. This involves the commbination of each clinical expertise, as well as considering patient choices with the best available external clinical evidence from systematic research. Evidence based practice has enhance and continue to improve the care given to patients in each healthcare, particularly within nursing. The purpose of this study is to outlined and find ways to include evidence based…
Throughout my time as a university student, I have always welcomed opportunities to participate in additional learning and personal development prospects that were offered to me. These have included taping courses for sports and kinesiology taping, online courses to further my acute care knowledge including ‘Physiotherapy in Critical Care’ and ‘Oxygen Therapy’ courses, being a student member of the Australian Physiotherapy Association to keep up to date with what is happening in the world of Physiotherapy, and what courses are being offered, creating a professional development portfolio as part of a university assessment, and by participating in networking events to create connections with experienced therapists to further strengthen my practice. I believe that these foundations provide a strong basis of commitment to, and…
