1 = Identifying evaluate criteria and standards 2 = collecting data to determine whether criteria and standards are met. 3 = interpreting and summarize findings 4 = documenting judgements
Match the technology evaluation steps with their description
Determine what will be evaluated. = Determine what to evaluate. Examples: Adoption and use of the patient portal Safety of using copy/paste function in the EHR Effectiveness of modified early warning system on reducing codes called outside of the ICU Effectiveness of allergy alerting Determine the question. = A clear, focused question helps the team determine what data will need to be collected and how the data ultimately should be reported. Examples: Has the implementation of the nurse-driven urinary catheter protocol reduced the number of catheter days for patients? Have the new admission assessment screens resulted in timesaving and improved support of workflow for nurses? What is the estimated amount of financial savings if automated report printouts were reduced by 50%? Conduct a literature search. = Searches should be conducted in peer-reviewed journals by searching available databases such as Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), PubMed, and Cochrane Reviews. Has this topic been studied before? What data was collected? What were the findings? Can we replicate the methods of the study? Determine the needed data. = In this step, the specific data elements to be collected need to be determined. What data is needed to answer the question? Is it available? Can the data be easily queried and pulled into a report or spreadsheet for data manipulation? Who will collect it? What data collection tool will be used?

Is the data already available in the EHR database (or other database), and you will need the assistance of someone skilled in running a query or developing a report? Will you need to conduct a manual chart review? Will you need to observe end users as they interact with the system? Will you need to conduct a survey? Will you need a focus group to gather data? Check sample size and date ranges in previous studies on the same topic Collect, analyze, and display data. = Whether using a table, bar chart, pie chart, or other method, ensure data displays include: Title with date range and sample size as appropriate Legends that clearly explain the content and colors Labels on the x and y axis so the numerical value can be understood Other descriptors necessary for interpretation Document your outcome evaluation. = Without comprehensive documentation of your evaluation, the chance that any practice improvements occur becomes unlikely.
