Study Notes
Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM)
- EBM is a systematic approach to identifying the most appropriate strategy for managing individual patients.
- This approach is based on recently published literature, strategies effective in previous patients, analyses of relevant medical literature, and advice given by mentors/colleagues.
Clinical Audit
- Clinical audit is a structured activity intended to provide new knowledge that's generalizable and suitable for dissemination.
- It's a process used to create protocols and guidelines based on policy-makers' input, implemented at a national level.
- It's a quantifiable process for testing hypotheses in clinical practice, and a quality improvement method that aims for higher patient care quality and outcomes.
Evidence-Based Medicine Step
- The first step in applying EBM concepts to a clinical question is to ask the question.
- Then, acquiring evidence, appraising the evidence, applying the evidence, and assessing the whole process follow.
Palliative Care
- Palliative care addresses emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of patients with serious illnesses.
- Hospice is a palliative care program focusing on providing care for people who are near the end of life.
