Discuss how evidence-based practice is applied in your practice setting and describe the desired patient outcome achieved through this approach.…
In the article, Back to Basics: Implementing Evidence- based Practice, the author, Lisa Spruce (2015), explains that health care is transitioning from volume based to value-based care. In order to create this value-based care, we need to put into action, evidence based practice (Spruce, 2015). Evidence based practice takes into consideration effectiveness by using research, patient preference and clinic experience, as well as cost-effectiveness (Spruce, 2015). When using this type of practice, a clinician is more likely to follow policy if they are able to understand and explain why they follow certain procedures, instead of just complying to a rule because it is a rule (Spruce, 2015).…
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.…
Outcomes, length of stay, and quality of care are all improved. It is important that the peer review system be used as an educational tool with a complete feedback loop to providers and thereby improving quality of care rather than exist as merely a punitive or regulatory…

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.…
Evidence-based practice is an anticipated core experience of all health care clinicians irrespective of position. Role modeling and participating in the skills are necessary to develop evidence-based practice into clinical and nonclinical courses and also an important part in developing positive attitudes toward evidence-based practice, that’s the first step for using evidence to guide practice decisions (Winters). One way to accelerate EBP In health care organizations are by obtaining support from entire culture. Advance practice and staff nurses as well as administrators must have the knowledge and have to believe about the importance of EBP and provide critical skills to support evidence-based care. The knowledge of nursing is built on a…
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…
The article was descriptive, informative, well organized, easy to read, but confusing. The authors did a good job in explaining the case study to the readers making it easy to interpret for the readers. The research question was answered why nurses believe in EBP but do not implement those practices into their daily work routine. It can be determined that the study leave a little skeptics and doubt, because the authors credentials and educations was not included in the article and the researchers used substitution methods in the…
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,…

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…
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 field of nursing is always improving and evolving. It is progressively moving forward as new information and research fuel our ability to provide proper patient care. In fact, I have seen the field change and develop in more ways than I can shake a stick. One of the most profound differences came with the inundation of technology and the connectivity of the internet. Never before has the patient been able to access so much information at their fingertips, or have medical professionals had such unprecedented access to patient records and global resources along with cutting edge techniques.…
