effective, efficient, equitable, and patient-centered
(S) in STEEEP - Answer Safe-Avoid injuries to patients from the care that is intended
to help them.
(T) in STEEEP - Answer Timely-Reduce waits and sometimes harmful delays for
both those who receive and those who give care.

(P) in STEEEP - Answer 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.
ACE Star Model of Knowledge Transformation
Advancing Research and Clinical Practice through Close Collaboration (ARCC)
Model of Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing and Healthcare
Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Model and Guidelines
Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice
Stetler Model of Research Utilization - Answer 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
Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services (PARiHS)
Vratny and Shriver Model for Evidence-Based Practice Pettigrew and Whipp Model
of Strategic Change
Outcomes-Focused Knowledge Translation
Determinants of Effective Implementation of Complex Innovations in Organizations
Ottawa Model of Research Use - Answer 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
Collaborative Model for Knowledge Translation between Research and Practice
Settings
Framework for Translating Evidence into Action
Knowledge Transfer and Exchange
Canadian Institutes of Health Research Knowledge Translation within the Research
Cycle Model or Knowledge Action Model
Interactive Systems Framework for Dissemination and Implementation - Answer
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 - Answer (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 - Answer These five points are discovery research, evidence
summary, translation to guidelines, practice integration, and evaluation of process
and outcome
clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) - Answer The IOM defines clinical guidelines as
"systematically developed statements to assist practitioner and patient decisions
about appropriate health care for specific clinical circumstances.
usability - Answer 1.Increased user productivity and efficiency 2.Decreased user
errors and increased safety 3.Improved cognitive support
, human factors - Answer is "the scientific discipline concerned with the understanding
of interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and the 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 - Answer 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) - Answer is the study of how people design,
implement, and evaluate interactive computer systems in the context of users' tasks
and work
usability - Answer 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 - Answer 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 - Answer 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 - Answer 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.
