Defining Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) • Merging personal clinical expertise with the best available research results according to patient preferences and values • Why is it important to utilize now?
Clinical Practice Guidelines • Systematically developed statements • Assist practitioners and client decisions about appropriate health care for clinical circumstances • Multidisciplinary
Concepts • Research utilization • Evidence-based practice • Are these interchangeable?
Criticisms of EBP • Quality of life issues • Restriction of freedom to practice • Inconsistent practices at medical centers versus other hospitals
Finding Best Practices • Location in literature • Online database • CINAH, MedLine, PubMed • Evidence-based practice centers • Cochrane Collaboration • Journals • Evidence-Based Nursing
Research Design • Qualitative • Quantitative • Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT)
Evaluating Research • U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) developed a system for: • Rating guideline recommendations • Evaluating strength of evidence • Tables 7-1 and 7-2
Implementing New Practice • Three steps in managerial support • Establishing a new culture • Creating capacity for organizational change • Sustaining change through revision of system’s infrastructure
Barriers to EBP Implementation • Lack of time • Literature not readily available • Uncertain of personnel’s ability to use research • Critical colleagues
