Evidence based practice and research is a balanced body of knowledge. Both research and evidence based practice play a key role that is secured through the balance of clinical practice, education, and research (Mckeon et al, 2015). Research is the act of reappraising or generating/creating new knowledge into present knowledge, with increase understanding of the study phenomenon (Burns & Groves, 2008). Evidence based practice, however, is the integration of the best evidence in conjunction with clinical
Evidence Based Practice: PICOT In today’s nursing practice many of the knowledge acquired is a mixture of standard nurse education, trial and error on the job training, personal experiences and traditional nursing practice from founding nursing mentors and or leaders. Some or many of these practices may not have had any evidence based science before their existence. The purpose of this paper is to explain what evidence based practice is, the purpose for it in clinical practice and applying the models
patient preference and then evaluate the effectiveness of the decision or intervention (CNA, 2010). In my clinical example I was able to use evidence informed practice in three distinct ways first I used documents based on best evidence and systemic review called best practice guidelines (BPG), second, I sought out new evidence when I was unsure about the effectiveness of an intervention, and third, I allowed the opportunity for the patient to make an informed decision that aligned with her personal
applying it differently than traditional practioners. Health care literature can consist of reports from four different stages or levels of development. The stages include; 1) reports that consist of letters, editorials, thought out pieces, broad general review articles, and case reports. All consist of the earliest level of evaluation, comprised of reports that deal with communication of ideas among researchers and clinician; 2) the second study includes reports consisting of studies and investigations

The purpose of evidence-based practice is to integrate clinical expertise and expert opinions, outside scientific evidence, and the values of those individuals involved to provide services that reflect upon the interests, morals, requirements, and choices of individuals being served (Introduction

While it may seem achievable to incorporate the practice of evidence based medicine into our healthcare system, there have been many barriers that is impeding the progress of evidence based medicine and its practice today. A systematic review has been conducted to determine that the main barriers in the practice of evidence based medicine by doctors and related healthcare professionals. These barriers are organised into the categories from the classic definition
provisions by using the best available evidence if national standards are not available. Protocols are rigid statements allowing little or no flexibility or variation. Protocols are designed to implement national standards such as national services framework and guidelines and appraisals produced by (NICE) Protocols put a precise sequence of activities to be adhered to in the management of specific clinical conditions without these in place there could be legal implications. There are many organisations
Discuss how evidence-based practice is applied in your practice setting and describe the desired patient outcome achieved through this approach. What is Evidence-based practice? Evidence-based nursing practice is the practice of nursing in which the nurse makes clinical decisions on the basis of the best available current research evidence, his or her own clinical expertise, and the needs and preferences of the patient. How the EBP is applied in the practice setting? 1. Assess the patient 2.
for the individual client. Best research evidence is the use of a variety of methods to obtain research. These methods include clinical observations and qualitative research studies (Steele, Elkin, & Roberts, 2008). The methods may also include systematic case studies, single case designs, public health, and ethnological research as well
