QUIZ 3: INFORMATION APPLICATION IN EVIDENCE-BASED NURSING PRACTICE, POLICIES, GUIDELINES AND LAWS IN NURSING INFORMATICS & PRIVACY OF PERSONAL AND PUBLIC DOMAINS Flashcards
provides the most effective and efficient patient care. Implementation of EBP by healthcare professionals results in higher quality healthcare, improved patient outcomes, care standardization, improved workflow, and reduced costs compared to care steeped in tradition or based on outdated policies and practices (McGinty & Anderson, 2008; Melnyk & FineoutOverholt, 2019).
Evidence-based practice (EBP)
How does nursing informatics contribute to evidence based practice?
Integrating informatics with evidence-based practice (EBP) can only help improve the care we provide to our patients. Applying technology to knowledge may help identify potential problems earlier.
What are some evidence-based nursing practices?
There are many examples of EBP in the daily practice of nursing.
Infection Control. The last thing a patient wants when going to a hospital for treatment is a hospital-acquired infection.
Oxygen Use in Patients with COPD.
Measuring Blood Pressure Noninvasively in Children.
Intravenous Catheter Size and Blood Administration.
What is the concept of evidence based practice?
Evidence-based practice is a conscientious, problem-solving approach to clinical practice that incorporates the best evidence from well-designed studies, patient values and preferences, and a clinician’s expertise in making decisions about a patient’s care.
What is a nursing care plan?
A nursing care plan contains all relevant information about a patient’s diagnosis, the goals of treatment, the specific nursing orders (including what observations are needed and what actions must be performed), and a plan for evaluation.
Over the course of the patient’s stay, the plan is updated with any changes and new information as it presents itself. NCPs or Nursing Care Plans
These allows recording of client assessments, medication administration, progress note, care plan updating, client acuity, and accrued charges
Bedside Data Entry
These NCPs are products of nursing informatics systems capable of comparing actual assessment findings of a patient entered to the system versus a preset database/program that has built in care plans.

- A pathway should clearly define the coverage as well as other time elements to be considered in any of the steps or procedures it has.
TIMELINE
- Pathways group sets of care together according to distinct categories which may include, but not limited to the following: Assessment; Diagnosis; Diet Therapy; Nursing Care; Medical Regimen etc.
CATEGORIES OF CARE
- Pathways provide clear expected health outcomes through a list to aid the healthcare provider in evaluating care and patient response. Outcome criteria also serve as signposts for HCPsin determining what to do next for a particular patient.
INTERMEDIATE AND LONG TERM OUTCOME CRITERIA
- Pathways require documentation of Variance.
VARIANCE RECORD
- a quality that is divergent or inconsistent with the expected outcome
Variance
- Clinical Protocols, Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs), Medical Guidelines, Practice Guidelines. Evidence-based documents that serve as decision making guidelines Mostly focused on: DIAGNOSIS; TREATMENT; MONITORING. Developed by governing bodies of a specific field or with deputized authority;
Clinical Guidelines
are heralded as a positive contribution to improving quality of care and ensuring the effectiveness of care
Clinical guidelines
All terms are clearly defined
No gray areas that may confuse a healthcare provider
Ex. A CPG provides you an intervention or a course of care for patient SBP > 130 mmHg, but does not offer an alternative for SBP < 130 mmHg
CLARITY
All components must be accepted by various concerned disciplines.
Ex. A CPG stat
