  6. How did it all start?

  7. 2004: Grassroot 2008 2005: We want at national Clearing House at the University

  8. Studies from the US and the Netherlands show that 30-40% of patients do not receive treatement based on evidence. • 20-25% of the treatments were unnecessary or even harmful (Grimshaw JM, Eccles MP, MJA 2004)

  9. Why nurses do not use research • The volume of journal and article available are enormous • Difficulties of accessing libraries • Lack of skills to determine the quality and validity of research • High quality studies are published in English • Qualification to synthesise evidence into explicit recommendation • Have the time to do all this

  10. Practice based on evidence • …practice based on evidence can decrease the uncertainty - that patients and clinicians experience in a complex health care system…. • …Clinical guidelines are one way to improve quality of care …. As they aim to reduce inappropriate variations….

  11. Clinical guidelines • …‘systematically developed statements to assist practitioner and patient decisions about appropriate health care for specific clinical circumstances’. • Institute of Medicine: Guidelines for Clinical Practice: 1993

  12. How can they matter By describing appropriate care based on the best available scientific evidence and broad consensus; By providing a more rational basis for referral and use of resources; By providing a focus for continuing education; By reducing inappropriate variation in practice; By Acting as focus for quality control, including audit; By highlighting shortcomings of existing literature and suggest appropriate future research.

  18. Do Clinical Guidelines have an impact on outcome of care? • Grimshaw 1993 - concluded that guidelines do improve clinical practice • Thomas 1998 – concluded some evidence excist that care driven by a guideline can be effective • Grimshaw 2006 - 86.6% of studies observed some kind of improvements in care • Hakkennes 2008 - the effects were small but in favour of the intervention group

  19. Whyestablish a clearinghouse in Denmark?? • Guidelines of varying quality • Guidelines with limited evidence • Guidelines are seldom published • Guidelines with different recommendations within the same nursing diagnosis • Inexpedient use of resources

  20. Definition • A Clearinghouse is an organization to which nurses send theirowndevelopedclinical guidelines for approval. Onceapproved the guideline canbeusedanywhere – the guideline is cleared • To cleare a clinical guideline meansthat the ”house” ensures the quality of the guideline on the basis of scientificevidence, consistence and relevance. • A Clearinghouse is an organizationwhichcollects and asseses the quality, registers and promotes evidencebased guidelines to beused by nurses in anyclinicalsetting

  21. Overall purpose of the Clearinghouse We will join efforts to strengthen evindence-based nursing practice and increase the quality of nursing to patients. Knowledge Competance Time & Money

  22. Aims (1) • To assess the quality (professionally and methodologically) of clinical guidelines in nursing • To establish and maintain a database of approved clinical guidelines in nursing • To communicate knowledge of existing clinical guidelines • To collaborate nationally and internationally on the development of clinical guidelines

  23. Aims (2) • To select areas for future research • To initiate and be part of research activities nationally and internationally • To initiate and be part of educational activities to strengthen the quality and development of clinical guidelines

  24. Principles of the organisation • Owned by the Danish Nursing Society • Membership financed • Management rooted • Decentralised focus and initiative • Central focus through research and new areas for systematic review • Development of competences in Danish nursing • An annual documentation conference is held to develop competences, to achieve consensus and to be updated

  34. Mouth rinse before heart surgery In the literature it is clearly demonstrated that mouth rinse twice a day for two days before elective heart surgery to one day after the surgical procedure reduce the number of patients developing respiratory tract infections and postoperative pneumonia with of more than 30%. • Pedersen, 2012

  35. Interdisciplinary Databases

  36. Conclusions • Evidence-based clinical guidelines can: • Reduce the delivery of inappropriate care • Support the introduction of new knowledge into clinical practice • Support nursing documentation and the development of standard nursing care plans • Support nurses in the clinical decision process in collaboration with the patients.

  37. Challenges • .. first of all to ensure that nurses have the needed competences to develop clinical guidelines and to develop indicators that are truly sensitive for nursing care…
