How is EBP essential
Helps w/ clinical decisions
EBP begins with … (3 things)
Clinical question
Appraisals of evidence
Evaluate clinical outcomes
3 things that comprise of EBP
External evidence
Internal evidence
Patient preference and values
Evidence generated through research to be generalized and used in other settings
External evidence
Evidence generated through practice initiatives, outcome management, and quality improvement
Internal evidence
_____ evidence that is not intended to generalized to other clinical settings
Internal evidence
Best available evidence is composed of what 3 types of research methods?
Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods
Subjective research
Qualitative
Research focused on data
Quantitative
Research that is the bets of both worlds
Mixed methods
Patient preferences, values, and concerns makes interventions more _______-________
Client-centered
Clinical judgment, internal evidence, clinical reasoning, evaluation, and use of healthcare resources help make up
Clinical experience
Hierarchy/levels of evidence
EBP produces better quality of
Care and pt outcome
The focus of healthcare reform in the United States encompasses what is known as the Institute of Healthcare Improvement’s “Triple Aim,” which includes:
Enhancing the experience of care for those served
Improving the health of populations throughout the nation
Reducing per capita costs of national health care
Initiatives to Advance EBP
institute of Medicine’s Roundtable on Evidence-Based Medicine
Goal for institute of Medicine’s Roundtable on Evidence-Based Medicine
goal is for 90% of clinical decisions to be based on evidence by the year 2020
USPSTF stands for
United States Preventive Services Task Force
AHRQ stands for
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
NCPAEP stands for
National Consortium for the Advancement of Pediatric and Adolescent Evidence-Based Practice
Steps of the EBP Process
- Ask the burning clinical question in PICO format.
- Search for and collect the most relevant best evidence.
- Critically appraise the evidence
Integrate the best evidence with one’s clinical expertise - Evaluate outcomes of the practice decision or change
based on evidence. - Disseminate the outcomes of the EBP decision or
change.
Barriers to EBP?
Lack of administrative/management support and mentors
Lack of knowledge and skills relating to EBP
Misperceptions or negative attitudes about EBP
Information overload
Resistance to change
Lack of autonomy over practice and lack of incentives
Strategies to Eliminate Barriers to Using Evidence-Based Practice
Establishing a clear philosophy and organizational vision in which EBP is valued and expected
•Developing a strategic plan to create a culture and environment that fosters EBP
•Dispelling misperceptions about EBP
•Teaching the basics of EBP
•Encouraging questions about currently used clinical practices
A determined effort is often required in order to address barriers and facilitate the implementation of EBP
Important concepts of evidence-based rehabilitation
Awareness
Consultation
Judgement
Creativity
Recognizing a problem, collecting data, and drawing a conclusion based on the data
Scientific method
What is considered the highest form of acquiring knowledge?
Scientific research
Can endorse currently held beliefs, but it can also call those beliefs into question
Method of Science
“systematic, controlled, empirical, amoral, public, and critical investigation of natural phenomena”
Scientific research
Scientific research can be what 4 things
- Systematic and controlled
- Empirical
- Amoral
- Public
Means that the scientific investigation is conducted in a manner that rules out other alternative explanations.
Systemic and controlled
