goal of EBP - Correct Ans-is improvement of systems and microsystems within
healthcare, with these improvements based on science
STEEEP principles - Correct Ans-The Institute of Medicine (IOM) expert panel issued
recommendations for urgent action to redesign healthcare so that it is safe, timely,
effective, efficient, equitable, and patient-centered
(S) in STEEEP - Correct Ans-Safe-Avoid injuries to patients from the care that is
intended to help them.
(T) in STEEEP - Correct Ans-Timely-Reduce waits and sometimes harmful delays for
both those who receive and those who give care.
(E) in STEEEP - Correct Ans-Effective-Provide services based on scientific knowledge
to all who could benefit, and refrain from providing services to those not likely to benefit.
(E) in STEEEP - Correct Ans-Efficient-Avoid waste, including waste of equipment,
supplies, ideas, and energy.
(E) in STEEEP - Correct Ans-Equitable-Provide care that does not vary in quality
because of personal characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, geographic location, and
socioeconomic status.
(P) in STEEEP - Correct Ans-Patient-centered Provide care that is respectful of and
responsive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values, and ensure that patient
values guide all clinical decisions.

Stetler Model of Research Utilization - Correct Ans-FOCUS: EBP, research use, and
knowledge transformation processes
DESCRIPTION: Direct a systematic approach to synthesizing knowledge and
transforming research findings to improve patient outcomes and the quality of care
Address both individual practitioners and healthcare organizations Focus on increasing
the meaningfulness and utility of research findings in clinical decision making

Ottawa Model of Research Use - Correct Ans-FOCUS: Strategic and organizational
change theory to promote uptake and adoption of new knowledge
DESCRIPTION:Trace mechanisms by which individual, small group, and organizational
contexts affect diffusion, uptake, and adoption of new knowledge and innovation
Premise is that interventions, outcomes evaluations, and feedback are important
methods to promote practice change

FOCUS: Knowledge exchange and synthesis for application and inquiry
DESCRIPTION: Structure ongoing interactions among practitioners, researchers,
policy-makers, and consumers to facilitate the generation of clinically relevant
knowledge and the application of knowledge in practice
All parties are engaged in bidirectional collaboration across the translation continuum
Knowledge Transformation - Correct Ans-(Ace Star Model)
is defined as the conversion of research findings from discovery of primary research
results, through a series of stages and forms, to increase the relevance, accessibility,
and utility of evidence at the point of care to improve healthcare and health outcomes by
way of evidence-based care.
Ace Star Model - Correct Ans-These five points are discovery research, evidence
summary, translation to guidelines, practice integration, and evaluation of process and
outcome
clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) - Correct Ans-The IOM defines clinical guidelines as
"systematically developed statements to assist practitioner and patient decisions about
appropriate health care for specific clinical circumstances.
usability - Correct Ans-1.Increased user productivity and efficiency 2.Decreased user
errors and increased safety 3.Improved cognitive support
human factors - Correct Ans-is "the scientific discipline concerned with the
understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and the
WGU

profession that applies theory, principles, data and methods to design in order to
optimize human well-being and overall system performance."
In healthcare, human factors might concern the design of a new operating room to
better support teamwork and patient flow.
ergonomics - Correct Ans-used interchangeably with human factors by the HFES in
Europe but in the U.S. and other countries its focus is on human performance with
physical characteristics of tools, systems, and machines
i.e. power drill fitting in hand
Human-computer interaction (HCI) - Correct Ans-is the study of how people design,
implement, and evaluate interactive computer systems in the context of users' tasks and
work
usability - Correct Ans-is often used interchangeably with HCI when the product is a
computer but usability also concerns products beyond computers. Usability is also more
focused on interactions within a specific context or environment for a specific product.
Formally, the ISO defines usability as the extent to which a product can be used by
specific users in a specific context to achieve specific goals with effectiveness,
efficiency, and satisfaction.
allows users to achieve goals
joint cognitive systems - Correct Ans-imply that information is shared or distributed
among humans and technology. This framework is useful for examining teamwork in
healthcare where team members work together on patient care
Health Human-Computer Interaction (HHCI) Framework - Correct Ans-Humans or
products can initiate interactions. The information is processed through either the
product or the humans according to characteristics. The recipient then reacts to the
information; for example, a healthcare provider could read and respond to email from a
patient or a product might process interactions after the "enter" key is pressed. Iterative
cycles continue as humans behave and products act according to defined
characteristics. Goals and planning are implicit within the tasks displayed in the
framework.
discount usability methods - Correct Ans-reduce the number of required users in
usability projects and to use early design prototypes.
These methods offer economies of time, effort, and cost and can be completed at any
point in the systems life cycle.
Two common techniques are heuristic evaluation and think-aloud protocol.
