Why is evidence-based practice (EBP) so important to healthcare?

Because it improves the care delivery system by exploring the literature and research of changes in care practices that can optimize care delivery successfully.

EBP only impact medical care and has no use in care coordination.

It has no impact on the traditions of care delivery models as it has not been fully vetted or supported by further research.

It standardizes the practices of care delivery and does not allow for individualization to the situation.

Why is it important for an organization to support an evidence-based practice (EBP) culture?

EBP focuses on changing the face of healthcare and improving all aspects of customer care.

EBP supports the organization achieve the triple or quadruple aim of improving care, improving health of the population, reducing cost and considering the possibility of burnout in care team members.

Why is Value-Based Reimbursement important?

It holds the organization to the standards of care delivery at the behest of the government.

It holds the consumer accountable to the cost of care delivery.

Value-Based Reimbursement focuses on standardizing care delivery to specific populations and situations that reflect EBP and streamlines the financial burden on the consumer and the organization.

It reduces the cost of care delivery and requires that any client that returns to the organization within a 30-day period is not billed nor can the organization receive penalties for the quality of care.

This step can be one of the most important with an overabundance of medical information and a limited amount of time to search. A clearly defined and focused question can make for efficient use of your time to find a reasonable amount of data. You will want to use the acronym PICOT to help with this question building process.

In this step, you will locate the highest quality relevant information from clinical literature to answer the question. The best research comes from systematic reviews, that is, an overview of all evidence addressing a particular clinical question. These reviews come from a prefiltered database, such as the Cochrane databases. Other databases, like PubMed and CINAHL, are unfiltered, meaning you will have to filter through the results yourself.

Research through Wikipedia.

Listening to webinars from vendors on changes in practices.

Searching through search engines for articles and research on healthcare related sites is one of the best methods to stay abreast of EBP changes.

Who are the national clearinghouses for research managers?

The National Quality Measures Clearinghouse and the National Guideline Clearinghouse

The OIM

Medscape

NIH

Of the following journals, which would provide the best literature on healthcare?
