  1. Evidenced-Based Practice Using Your Palm Pilot and Other Technology November 20, 2001 Suzanne Bakken, RN, DNSc, FAAN School of Nursing & Department of Medical Informatics Columbia University

  2. Purpose • Overview of informatics framework for evidence-based practice • PDA products and resources • PDA projects at Columbia University • Entry to Practice Program • Nursing Informatics Subspecialty • PalmCIS

  3. What’s the Problem in Practice? • Avoidable errors • Under-utilization of services • Overuse of services • Gap between “best” practice and actual practice

  4. What is Evidence-Based Practice? • Traditional conceptualizations • Research utilization • Clinical trials-based • Clinical practice guidelines • Application of domain knowledge to patient care • Evidence as a continuum • Evidence-based medicine is the practice of making medical decisions through the judicious identification, evaluation, and application of the most relevant information (Friedland, 1998)

  5. What Data Do We Need for Evidence-Based Practice? • Information about the patient • Information about the context of care • Domain information and knowledge (“the evidence”) from systematic inquiry and other sources

  6. Informatics Supports: • Building the evidence • Accessing/retrieving the evidence • Analyzing the evidence • Applying the evidence

  7. Foundation for Evidence-based Practice • Standardized terminologies • Digital sources of evidence • Standards that facilitate health care data exchange • Informatics competencies • Informatics processes that support the acquisition and application of evidence to a specific clinical situation

  8. Motivation • Costing and reimbursement for nursing services • Education of students • Documentation of nursing contributions to patient care outcomes • Development of nursing knowledge • Support for evidence-based practice • Inclusion of nursing terms in computer-based systems including decision support systems

  9. “The very elements of nursing are all but unknown” Florence Nightingale in Notes on Nursing, 1859

  10. “If we cannot name it (nursing), we cannot control it, practice it, research it, teach it, finance it or put it into public policy.” N. Lang, 1991

  11. Standardized Terminologies • Diagnoses/judgments • NANDA Taxonomy II • Georgetown Home Health Care Classification • Patient Care Data Set • Omaha System • International Classification of Nursing Practice

  12. Standardized Terminologies • Interventions • Nursing Interventions Classification • Georgetown Home Health Care Classification • Patient Care Data Set • Omaha System • International Classification of Nursing Practice

  13. Standardized Terminologies • Outcomes • Nursing Outcomes Classification • Georgetown Home Health Care Classification • Omaha System • International Classification of Nursing Practice • Goals • Patient Care Data Set

  14. Standardized Terminologies System Problem/Dx Interventions Outcomes NANDA Taxonomy 1 x Current Procedural Terminology x Nursing Interventions Classification x Omaha System x x x Home Health Care Classification x x x International Classification of Diseases x SNOMED Clinical Terms x x x Nursing Outcomes Classification x Medcin x x x First Data Bank Pharmacy KB x x

  15. Types and Sources of Digital Evidence • Bibliographic • Primary literature • Synthesized • Practice parameters • Standards of care • Practice guidelines • Disease management plans • Comparative databases • Knowledge bases • Diagnostic decision support systems • Pharmacy

  16. Standards for Healthcare Data Exchange for EBP • Data and knowledge representation • Messaging • Privacy, confidentiality, and security • Digital library

  17. Informatics Competencies • Acquire various types of data, information, and knowledge • Organize data, information, and knowledge • Critically analyze and synthesize data, information, and knowledge • Apply data, information, and knowledge in the clinical decision making and care provision process • Use informatics-based approaches and information technologies in clinical decision making and care provision process

  18. Informatics-based Approaches • Integration of disparate sources • MedWeaver • Task-specific information retrieval • Infobuttons • Tailored delivery of informational and educational interventions • PatCIS

  19. Integration of Disparate Sources

  20. Task-Specific Information Retrieval

  21. Tailored Delivery of Informational and Educational Interventions

  22. PDA Products • Pharmacy knowledge bases • Prescription writing • Medication calculators • Other sources of evidence • Clinical documentation

  23. PDA Projects at Columbia University • Entry to Practice Program • Nursing Informatics Subspecialty • PalmCIS

  24. Accessing/Retrieving Evidence: ETP • ePocrates medication knowledge base • ePocrates infectious disease knowledge base • Future – PDA interface to WebCIS through PalmCIS project

  25. Building and Examining Knowledge from Practice:ETP Clinical Encounter Documentation and Analysis • How • Documentation of individual encounters • Pick list of subset of nursing diagnoses and interventions • Look-up database of other diagnoses, interventions, and definitions • Based on standardized terminology (Home Health Care Classification) • Upload to central database for aggregation and analysis • Why • Examine individual practice • Aggregate comparisons • Tie to required clinical competencies

  26. Documenting Encounters with HHCC Diagnosis: Chronic pain (Q45.2) Interventions • Pain control – Assess (Q47.0.1) • Pain control – Perform (Q47.0.2) • Pain control – Teach (Q47.0.3) • Medication Administration – Perform (H24.0.2) Competency (observed, supervised, independent)

  27. Informatics Competencies • Just-in-time for PDA-specific computer literacy competencies • Informatics for Evidence-based Practice (3 units)

  28. Nursing Informatics Subspecialty • Courses • Informatics for Evidence-based Practice (3 units) • Interactive Health Communication (3 units) • Informatics residency • Medical informatics elective • Incorporation of informatics competencies throughout NP curriculum • Clinical encounter documentation • Similar to ETP plus ICD and CPT codes

  29. PalmCIS • Palm interface to WebCIS • Web-based approach

  30. Conclusion • Much potential • Many products available • Fit with workflow • Issues with memory, real estate, and synchronization approaches • Slides and set of links available on Informatics for Evidence-based Practice Web Page http://www.columbia.edu/itc/hs/nursing/m8120/
