  • Pressure injury prevention in hospitalized adults

    Submission Type: Table Create a body of evidence (Evaluation Table) to compare the three studies you appraised in weeks 4 and 5. See the evaluation table templates D1 and D2 (linked below) for examples. In weeks 4 and 5, you completed the critical appraisal of three studies. This week, you will meld these studies into a synthesis upon which to base practice and standards of care. To create this synthesis, youll compare the three studies using an Evaluation Table that includes the following: Citation: Author, Date of Publication, & Title Purpose of Study Conceptual Framework Design/ Method Sample/Setting Major Variables Studied and Their Definitions Measurement of Major Variables Data Analysis Study Findings Worth to Practice: Level of Evidence Strengths/Weaknesses Feasibility Conclusion Your PICOT question is the driver for the evaluation table and synthesis tables. For example, with data analysis, while many statistics may be reported in a study, only those statistics that assist you in answering your clinical question should be placed in the table. Also, only the findings relevant to the clinical question should be placed in the table. Keeping the order of information placed in the table clear and simple is imperative for comparisons across studies for synthesis. Some suggestions to make the table user-friendly are to: (a) use abbreviations (e.g., RCT) with a legend for interpretation, (b) keep the order of the information the same in each study, and (c) place similar statistics in the same order in each study for easy comparison.

  • Implementing EBP

    We will be using .The Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice presents directions for implementing patient care based on the best research evidence and monitoring changes in practice to ensure quality care.

    Understanding of the evidence-based practice (EBP) models is key to implementation of EBP. There are various models available; some of which were presented to you in this unit.

    Consider the following questions in your discussion post:

    • Select one of the models presented in this unit.
    • Describe how this model would be effective for implementing EBP and/or best practices in the practice, administration, or education setting.
    • Consider how you might introduce this change.
    • What barriers might you confront?

    Responses need to address all components of the question, demonstrate critical thinking and analysis, and include peer reviewed journal evidence to support the students position.

    Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

  • the application of clinical systems

    Conduct a search for recent (within the last 5 years) research focused on the application of clinical systems. The research should provide evidence to support the use of one type of clinical system to improve outcomes and/or efficiencies, such as the use of personal health records or portals to support patients newly diagnosed with diabetes.

    • Develop an annotated bibliography that follows the organization of the Sample Annotated Bibliography resource provided in this Competency.
    • Complete the annotated bibliography for each of the five peer-reviewed articles you selected for the one type of clinical system you selected. Be sure to include the following:
    • An introduction of each peer-reviewed article selected.
    • APA citation of each peer-reviewed article selected.
    • Summarize the study in each peer-reviewed article selected.
    • Analyze each peer-reviewed article selected. What are the benefits and limitations of each peer-reviewed article?
    • Explain the improvement to outcomes, efficiencies, and lessons learned from the application of the clinical system that each peer-reviewed article described. Be specific and provide examples.
