“ Several elements are necessary to ensure the successful implementation of evidence- based practice (EBP). Steps for implementation include assembling the team, establishing a sense of urgency, providing incentives for key leaders to change behavior, and implementing the program”(Ahrens, 2005).…
The health care organizations should provide nurses mandatory evidence-based practice (EBP) programs annually to develop and ensure competencies that enable staff nurses to use evidence in their practice. Moreover, nurse managers and leaders need to create a supportive environment for EBP, such as providing resources for searching for evidence. In order to have the administrative support, managers and leaders need to communicate with policymakers and set out related policies with evidence-based research to make the EBP as the daily basis of nursing care. Consequently, it should be…
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. Subsequently, I will explain the process my organization uses for implementing evidence-based practice.…
A number of studies reveal that the advantages of implementing evidence-based practice by nurses and other health professional’s results in the advancement quality of care that leads to enhanced patient outcomes. Furthermore, the current use of evidence-based in the clinical setting would result in increased patient outcome since the evidence-based practice includes multidisciplinary recommendations that could facilitate all nurses in addressing questions related to the best patient care.…
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…
The focus of this assignment is to look at Evidence Based Practice (EBP), why it is important for nursing to be evidence based and the barriers to implementation of EBP.…
9.1) During my evidenced based practice assignment, I became informed of a particular participant’s current housing situation. This housing situation may severely impact his quality of life. It may impact his quality of life because he may be living in a unsatisfactory living environment. The participant used a program in the past and this program had many gaps in service. After I learned this, I collaborated with SOAR’s social worker and did research on organizations that could help this participant. Upon collaboration, she informed me that she had contacted every agency she could think of to help this participant and the ones I suggested she already talked to. 9.2) Recently, I helped SOAR acquire more funding sources for the 5k. 9.3) I have…
The first key concept I learned was Evidence Based Practice (EBP) and its importance in Nursing…
Evidence based practice is used as a framework for planning, implementing and evaluating care provided to clients as stated by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ, 2014). According to the AHRQ (2014), evidence-based research provides the basis for grounding clinical practice guidelines and recommendations in order to provide effective healthcare to patients. Furthermore, the AHRQ reported that the United States of America implement a preventive task force of experts to prevent and provide evidence based medicine to improve the health of all Americans with preventive medication and health screening (2014). It is the belief of this writer that clients value their health and strength, therefore preventive medication and health…
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…
It is increasingly clear that the cultural barriers are as important as the organizational and personal factors to implementing evidence EBP. Most of the research demonstrated that the working culture within organizations stresses on the need to abide by hierarchy and to keep in harmony with others (Williams, Perillo and Brown,2015). On the other hand, nurses need to feel that they have the autonomy and power to enact change in the current practice within their organization (Karin et al, 2009). For instance, several case reports documented that nurses’ opinion and thoughts were not appreciated by doctors predisposing them to have negative thoughts toward utilizing EBP (Chang, Russell and Jones 2010). In fact, health care professionals must…
Evidence-based practice (EBP) has been emphasized since the publication of the Institute of Medicine’s report “To Err Is Human”. Nurses should be able to not only provide standard care within the scope of practice but also deliver safe care based on the best EBP that is most up-to-date at that time. Furthermore, research is developed based on the current evidence-based practice. Research nurses work on new projects to conceptualize innovative ideas, generate literature research, and conduct clinical trials to develop new evidence-based practice. The reason why evidence-based practice and research are important is because health…
The trend towards chronic disease management provided by nurses utilizing evidence based practice (EBP) has increased, however barrier for acceptance for nurses as a care team member continues. A pilot study reported by Laughlin and Beisel (2010) reported the evolution, acceptance and barriers of nurses in a primary care setting as a member of the treatment team providing chronic disease management. In addition the study focused attention on the skill sets nurses utilizes to provide care of chronic conditions, emphasized the nurse being uniquely qualified to assess the needs of patients with chronic illness, the nurses ability to formulate a plan of care and facilitate coordination of care (p. 414). Although nurses have the experience and…
Week 6 Evidence –based practice and its impact on nursing management and leadership Recent changes in the American health care system, the challenges to recruit and retain nurses, and other factor observed such as quality of decision making in the work environment have been the leitmotiv encouraging me to conduct this study. I want to conduct a systematic research using interviews, evidence through the literature, the patient determination acts in the context of health care system. I will critique the findings and propose some changes based on data collected after the interviews. Picot……
