EBP & Clinical Inquiry

Online "Textbook" for Clinical Inquiry Internship for Nursing & Allied Health

Planning

Work with your Mentor and Team to develop your Translation/ Implementation plan. Use the EBP Project Kickoff Template and the EBP Project Portfolio Step 3 (below) to develop your plan.

If a pilot or change is needed, begin gathering pre-measures -- to show how the change improves outcomes.

Consider what will be involved in the change - workflow? policies? EMR?

DOCUMENT YOUR PLAN in the EBP Project Portfolio Step 3

Check in with your EBP Mentor and Manager - let them know where you are in the process, and what questions you have. 

Outcomes

The JHEBP Model notes these types of outcomes:

  • Clinical
  • Functional
  • Perceptual
  • Process/Intervention
  • Organization/Unit-Based

1. Work with your team, leaders, and mentors to choose metrics.

2. Measure prior to implementation

3. Set dates to re-measure post-implementation

4. Continue measuring over a longer period of time to ensure that the practice change "sticks"
