NURS 6052 Essesnse of Evidence –Based Practice WEEK 1

TUTOR WILL RESPOND TO THESE 2 STUDENTS’ DISCUSSIONS

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.

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. NURS 6052 Walden 2010 ACA Legislation and Evidence Based Practice Response

By Day X of Week X

Respond to at least two of your colleagues on two different days by visiting the websites they shared and offering additional examples of EBP or alternative views/interpretations to those shared in your colleagues’ posts.

Evidence-based practice is a problem-solving approach to providing health care that combines the best evidence from clinical trials and patient care data with physician competencies, patient preferences and values. The highest quality care and best patient outcomes are achieved when delivered in a caring setting and supportive organizational culture. (Ellen Fineout Overholt, 2010)

I chose the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as an example of evidence-based practice. The organization’s history began in July 1946 in a small building in the city of Atlanta. His first mission was simple, but very rewarding.

Stop the spread of malaria across the country. At the time, it had less than 400 employees and a budget of $10 million. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.) But that was just the beginning. Its founder Dr. Joseph Mountin continued to advocate for public health issues and urged the CDC to extend its responsibilities to other infectious diseases.

CDC is now a great resource for federal, state, and private agencies, employers, public health officials, communities, and even those of us who are health professionals. This organization provides up-to-date disease information and develops and implements evidence-based policies to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. The latest case is the current COVID-19 pandemic.

The CDC has confirmed human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus in the United States. (Sensor, undated) CDC has developed evidence-based guidelines from clinical experience and research based on the incubation period and route of transmission of the virus.

Using CDC’s strategies derived from evidence-based practice, health care providers can translate research findings into clinical practice that lead to a safe work environment and improved infectious disease eradication. (Melnyk, 2018)

The National Council for State Board of Nursing (NCSBN) founded in 1978 is a mission-driven organization protecting public safety supports and empowers nursing regulators. NCSBN members are the Boards of Nursing (BON) that regulates the nursing practice and aligns with the Nurse Practice Act. Navigating the website under “Research” mentioned evidenced-base regulatory decisions for public protection and patient safety (National Council for State Board of Nursing, NURS 6052 Walden 2010 ACA Legislation and Evidence Based Practice Response 2010).

The Organization’s work is grounded in EBP, by reputation, NCSBN is the leading regulatory body that certifies the entire workforce of nurses in the US. They have their research team and at the same time provide funding and grants for scientific research and establish an evidenced-base program (EBP) that will promote the science of nursing policy and prepare future leaders for the regulatory experience.

Since NCSBN is one of the entities that regulate the nursing practice, recent EBP supporting the Clinical Judgement Model will introduce by NCSBN for the next generation National Council Licensure Exam (NCLEX) encouraging educators to start preparing the nursing students understanding clinical judgment (Sherrill, NURS 6052 Walden 2010 ACA Legislation and Evidence Based Practice Response 2020).

Taxonomy of Error, Root Cause Analysis and Practice Responsibility (TERCAP) was initiated by NCSBN in response to Institute of Medicine consultation to design a standardized process nationwide on human error discerning willful negligence and intentional misconduct. The TERCAP protects patient health and safety by structured tracking and evaluation of the cause of adverse events from the system and individual perspective (Missouri State Board of Nursing Newsletter, NURS 6052 Walden 2010 ACA Legislation and Evidence Based Practice Response 2015).

I have a high expectation with regards to NCSBN and navigating its website does not change my perception. As the leading regulator of the nursing practice, this organization holds a high standard of practice maintaining the integration of EBP in every policy and initiative being applied. Nurses are one of the largest workforces nationwide that even before the Affordable Care Act of 2010 had been guided by EBP.

One example is the guidelines for the nursing education program, NCSBN had conducted guidelines and evidenced-based quality indicator for the Board of Nursing to follow in approving the program in their states (Journal of Nursing Regulation,2020). This creates a ripple effect on how nurses are being prepared for their profession starting from the approval of nursing school through the Board of Nursing guided by NCSBN grounded in EBP.
