6 objectives for developing a EBP vision - correct answer ✔✔1-develop a mental framework
2-establish a motivating image for change
3-create specific goals
4-gain administrative support
5-establish a leadership team
6-involve experts and mentors in clinical practice
4 objectives to develop staff engagement in EBP - correct answer ✔✔1-engage staff/stakeholders in
assessing and eliminating barriers
2-prioritize clinical issues
3-develop experts in the evidenced based process
4-evaluate the infrastructure (determine who has the decision making authority)
7 objectives for integrating EBP into the clinical environment - correct answer ✔✔1-establish
implementation teams
2-build excitement
3-disseminate evidence (experience sharing, overcome knowledge deficits)
4-develop clinical tools (tools to transform practice,access to resources)
5-pilot test
6-preserve energy sources (anticipate setbacks)
7-establish timeline
, 6 ways to evaluate outcomes of EBP change - correct answer ✔✔1-outcomes: measure outcomes of
death,disability, economic impact of therapy, illness management, iatrogenic effects of treatment
2-Quality care improvement:success of symptom management
3-patient centered quality care:patient perception of healthcare providers' attitude
4-efficiency of processes: timeliness of processes
5-environmental changes: availability of resources
6-professional expertise: knowledge of staff
steps to guide measurement of the impact of new interventions on improving healthcare outcomes (4) -
correct answer ✔✔1-define problem
2-compare appraised evidence with traditional practice
3-educate all stakeholders-assure that resources avail to troubleshoot processes.
4-analyze results and disseminate to stakeholders, ID opportunities for improvement
5 sources of internal data for EB quality improvement - correct answer ✔✔1-quality management
department (incident reports)
2-finance department (charge for tests, meds, equipment)
3-clinical systems- diagnostic test results, pharmacy data
4-administration-pt complaints
5-electronic healthcare record
validity - correct answer ✔✔does the instrument that is developed actually measuring what it is
supposed to measure
reliability- - correct answer ✔✔does the instrument measure the construct consistently every time it is
used
nominal data - correct answer ✔✔data sorted into categories -ex: gender, presence or absence of a
disease
ordinal data - correct answer ✔✔data can be ranked in order, but the absolute difference between each
level is not equal (Likert scale)
interval data - correct answer ✔✔numerical data with equal and consistent mathematical values
separating each discrete measurement point, ex Fahrenheit temp scale-lacks an absolute zero
ratio - correct answer ✔✔same data characteristics as interval level data but also has a absolute zero
value: Kelvin temperature scale
two methods of presenting data in an understandable way - correct answer ✔✔scorecards and
dashboards
why would quality projects need IRB approval??? - correct answer ✔✔if it is possible that knowledge
might be shared outside of the specific quality improvement initiative and institution, then IRB approval
is required prior to initiation of project
