receive and those who give care.

(E) in STEEEP - Answer 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 - 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
,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
,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
, 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.
Heuristic evaluations - Answer compare products against accepted usability guidelines to
reveal major and minor usability issues.
think-aloud protocol - Answer also involves a small number of users and has them talk aloud
while they interact with a product. Users voice what they are trying to do, indicate where
interactions are confusing, and provide other thoughts about the product during interactions.
This allows a detailed examination of the specified tasks, in particular to uncover major
effectiveness issues.
used in conjunction with other techniques
task analysis - Answer generic term for a set of more than 100 techniques that range from a
focus on cognitive tasks and processes (called cognitive task analysis) to observable user
interactions with an application (e.g., a systematic mapping of team interactions during a
patient code).
Task analyses are systematic methods that are used to understand what users are doing or
required to do with a product by focusing on tasks and behavioral actions of the users and
products.
