Evidence-Based Practice, Practice-Based Evidence, and Health Informatics by Ruth Minale Agmasu `220465 Presentation outline: Introduction understanding the concept of evidence based practice, practice based evidence and health informatics The goals of evidence based practice and practice based evidence The role of practice based evidence and evidence based practice in the healthcare system Utilizing health informatics to support evidence –based practice and practice based evidence Challenges and Barriers to Implementing Evidence-Based Practice Strategies for Integrating Evidence-Based Practice into Healthcare Settings Ethical Considerations in Evidence-Based Practice and Health Informatics  Introduction  In the field of healthcare, evidence-based practice (EBP), practice-based evidence (PBE), and health informatics have emerged as key approaches to improving patient outcomes and enhancing the quality of care.  Evidence-based practice involves the integration of current research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient values and preferences to guide decision-making and improve patient outcomes. Introduction(conti..)  Practice-based evidence, on the other hand, focuses on using the experiences and insights of healthcare providers and patients to inform clinical practice and improve outcomes.  Health informatics, meanwhile, leverages technology and data to support evidence-based practice and practice-based evidence through the collection, analysis, and dissemination of information.  Together, these approaches play a crucial role in shaping the future of healthcare and driving continuous improvement in patient care.  Definition of Evidence-Based Practice  Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a process of “integrating the best available research evidence with clinical expertise and the patient’s unique values and preferences” (Straus, Glasziou, Richardson, & Haynes, 2011).  It is a more systematic approach to decision-making in healthcare. It involves the integration of the best available research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient preferences to inform the delivery of high-quality care.  Evidence-based practice emphasizes the use of rigorous research methods to evaluate the effectiveness of different interventions and treatments.  Definition of Evidence-Based Practice conti..  Evidence-based practice is the intersection of clinical expertise, research evidence , and the patients values and preferences.  Definition of Practice-Based Evidence  Practice-based evidence (PBE) focuses on collecting and analyzing data from real-world clinical practice to improve patient outcomes.  Practice-based evidence refers to the use of knowledge and information that is derived from the clinical experiences of healthcare providers and their patients. This type of evidence is typically based on the observations, insights, and outcomes that healthcare professionals have encountered in their day-to-day practice.  Practice-based evidence can help healthcare providers make decisions that are tailored to the individual needs and circumstances of their patients.  Defining Evidence-Based Practice and Practice-Based Evidence(cont..) Evidence-Based Practice Practice-Based Evidence  Utilizes external research and evidence to guide  Generates evidence from clinical practice clinical decisions. through data collection and analysis. The goals of evidence based and practice based evidence  Resolve problem in clinical setting  Achieving excellence in care delivery.  Reducing the variations in clinical care and assist with efficient and effective decision making  Provide practicing the evidence based data to deliver effective care. The roles of practice based evidence and evidence based practice in the healthcare systems Evidence based practice: Practice-Based Evidence  Improved patients outcomes  Tailored interventions.  Reducing healthcare costs  Real world applicability  Enhancing patient safety  continuous improvement  promoting accountability and transparency  cost effectiveness  Supporting professional development  patient centered care The Role of Health Informatics in Evidence-Based Practice and practice based evidence Health informatics plays a crucial role in supporting EBP and PBE by providing tools and infrastructure for data management, analysis, and dissemination. It facilitates the integration of evidence into clinical workflows and decision-making processes. Data Collection and Data Analysis and 1 2 Reporting Management Health informatics systems These systems analyze data to gather and organize patient identify trends, patterns, and data, clinical observations, insights relevant to EBP. and outcomes. The Role of Health Informatics in Evidence-Based Practice and Practice based evidence(Cont…) 3 Knowledge Dissemination Health informatics enables the sharing of EBP findings through reports, dashboards, and decision support tools. Challenges and Barriers to Implementing Evidence-Based Practice The implementation of EBP faces challenges like limited access to relevant evidence, time constraints, and resistance to change among healthcare professionals. These barriers can hinder the adoption of best practices and impact patient care. Time Constraints Lack of Resources Healthcare providers often lack Access to relevant research and sufficient time to research and training resources can be limited. implement EBP. Resistance to Change Clinicians may be reluctant to adopt new practices or embrace EBP.  Strategies for Integrating Evidence-Based Practice into Healthcare Settings To successfully integrate EBP into healthcare settings, organizations should establish clear policies, provide adequate training, and create a culture that values evidence- informed decision-making. Develop EBP Policies Establish clear guidelines and standards for using EBP. Provide EBP Training Offer training programs and workshops for clinicians. Foster a Culture of EBP Encourage and support the use of EBP across all levels of the organization.  Ethical Considerations in Evidence-Based Practice and Health Informatics EBP and health informatics raise important ethical considerations regarding data privacy, informed consent, and the responsible use of technology. It is essential to ensure ethical principles guide the implementation and use of these tools. Data Privacy Informed Consent Responsible Use of Technology Protecting patient information Obtaining patient consent for Utilizing technology ethically and ensuring data security. data collection and use. and responsibly to benefit patients.  Conclusion  In summary, evidence-based practice, practice-based evidence, and health informatics are essential components of healthcare delivery that help improve outcomes and decision-making.  By integrating the best evidence with clinical expertise and patient preferences, healthcare professionals can deliver more effective care. Health informatics supports this process by facilitating data collection and analysis.  These approaches ensure that healthcare interventions are grounded in current evidence, leading to better patient outcomes and system performance.  Embracing these principles and leveraging technology and data is crucial for delivering high-quality, patient- centered care in an evolving healthcare environment.  References  Brownson, R.
