Discussion: Where in the World Is Evidence-Based Practice?

 

March 21, 2010, was not EBP’s date of birth, but it may be the date the approach “grew up” and left home to take on the world. NURS 5052 – Week 1 Discussion Paper

When the Affordable Care Act was passed, it came with a requirement of empirical evidence. Research on EBP increased significantly. Application of EBP spread to allied health professions, education, healthcare technology, and more. Health organizations began to adopt and promote EBP.

In this Discussion, you will consider this adoption. You will examine healthcare organization websites and analyze to what extent these organizations use EBP.

 

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and reflect on the definition and goal of EBP.
  • Choose a professional healthcare organization’s website (e.g., a reimbursing body, an accredited body, or a national initiative).

Please use a Healthcare Organization in South Florida example: Jackson Health System or Memorial Healthcare System

  • Explore the website to determine where and to what extent EBP is evident.

 

Instructions:

  1. Post a description of the healthcare organization website you reviewed.
  2. Describe where, if at all, EBP appears (e.g., the mission, vision, philosophy, and/or goals of the healthcare organization, or in other locations on the website).
  3. Then, explain whether this healthcare organization’s work is grounded in EBP and why or why not.
  4. Finally, explain whether the information you discovered on the healthcare organization’s website has changed your perception of the healthcare organization. Be specific and provide examples.

Healthcare Organization Website Review

Studies support that evidence-based practice (EBP) can enhance the health outcomes of patients, minimize costs, and empower healthcare professionals. So, healthcare organizations should strive to employ EBP in their clinical practice. In that connection, I selected the website of Mayo Clinic as the healthcare organization to review. Mayo Clinic is a not-for-profit healthcare organization dedicated to education, clinical practice, research, and delivering holistic care to every individual in need of healing (Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 2021). The website provides extensive information pertinent to what the organization does and the services it offers.

EBP Utilization

The concept of EBP appears on the website under the mission values of Mayo Clinic. The mission statement is “Inspiring hope and promoting health through integrated clinical practice, education and research” (Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 2021).

Grounding of EBP

The work of this organization is grounded in EBP. An organization’s work is said to be grounded in EBP if it integrates the following components in healthcare delivery: 1) external evidence (well-designed research evidence), 2) healthcare professional expertise, and 3) preferences and values of a patient (Melnyk et al., 2010; Melnyk et al., 2014; Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2018). According to Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (2021), this organization has scientists who conduct research that is translational, epidemiological, basic, and clinical. As the scientists conduct the research, they collaborate with clinicians to create new as well as enhanced treatment protocols and medications, bringing patients proven therapy/treatment, while prioritizing their needs (Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 2021). The components of EBP are present in this organization’s work.

Perception of Healthcare Organization

The discovered information on the website has changed my perception concerning this healthcare organization. Initially, I thought this organization centered on providing health information and care services traditionally, but after analyzing the website in-depth, I have discovered that the organization strives to improve patient care and enhance healthcare quality by integrating external evidence and clinician’s expertise.

Discussion Main Post

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is a healthcare company that helps provide coverage to more than 100 million people (U.S. Government Services and Information, 2021). CMS aims to provide affordable as well as high-quality healthcare. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services delivers its mission and philosophy on the company website’s welcome page. On the website, they state their commitment to quality patient care through the use of innovative technology as well as state their dedication to providing meaningful information about the quality and costs of their services (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, 2021).

Evidence-based practice is exercised in the “Research, Statistics, Data and Systems” section of the company website, where the organization provides information about the information technology and computer systems that are utilized and statistics and trends observed in their medical general healthcare practices. The organization offers detailed studies, statistics, and evidence within each subsection, such as systematic-reviewed studies and randomized trials. For example, in the “Chronic Illness” subsection, the company links a study that observed variations and classifications of chronic illnesses and tested the prevalence of chronic illness in US adults. The study included randomized control trials, which are practical uses of Evidence-based practice, as well as systemic reviews (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2021). As outlined in the company’s mission, the organization also uses Evidence-based practice when discussing the technology utilized in their health practices. For example, the company provides statistical data about the efficiency of the Healthcare Integrated General Ledger Accounting System (HIGLAS), stating that “as of January 31, 2021, [HIGLAS] recouped a cumulative total of over $818.05 million in tax levy offsets” (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, 2021).

The organization utilizes Evidence-based practice through systematic-reviewed studies and statistics to further the company mission and provide reliable information to patients. As a result, this healthcare organization’s work is grounded in evidence-based practice. The information provided by the company further strengthens my belief in the company’s credibility and dedication to provide meaningful and trustworthy information to patients.
