Determining the Credibility of Evidence and Resources
Develop a 3 page scholarly paper in which you describe the diagnosis you researched for the previous assessment, and then identify and analyze credible evidence that could be used as the basis for applying Evidence Based Practice to the issue.
Below is a quick review table of several well-known Evidence-Based Practice Models used to guide exploration:
Identify the Evidence-Based Practice model and explain the importance of incorporating credible evidence into the EBP model used to address your chosen diagnosis. Review the literature below and choose the appropriate model for your diagnosis
Evidence-Based Practice Models
· Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice
· Stetler Model
· Ottawa Model
· PARiHS (Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services) Model
· ACE (Academic Center for Evidence-Based Practice) Star Model
· ARCC (Advancing Research and Clinical Practice Through Close Collaboration) Mode
· John Hopkins Model
· KTA (Knowledge-to-Action) Model
For this assessment:
· Support your explanations with references to the literature or research articles that describe criteria that should be used to determine credibility.
· Your identification and determination of credibility should be done within the context of your chosen diagnosis for this assessment. Your initial identification of resources should be of resources that will best help address the presented diagnosis you selected. Since you are locating resources to help provide evidence-based care for the diagnosis/health care issue you identified in the first assessment, you may want to begin your literature and evidence search from the databases that were identified.
· Describes a quality or safety issue, or your chosen diagnosis, that could benefit from an evidence-based approach. Provides a specific rationale for the importance or benefit of applying an evidence-based approach. Uses literature to support discussion.
· Explains criteria that should be considered when determining credibility of resources such as journal articles and websites. Notes one or more ways the criteria could be applied to a specific resource.
· Analyzes the credibility and relevance of evidence and resources within the context of a quality or safety issue, or a chosen diagnosis. Additionally, identifies the most useful evidence or resource based upon the analysis.
· Explains the importance of incorporating credible evidence into an evidence-based practice model used to address a quality or safety issue, or a chosen diagnosis/health care issue. Notes specific examples of how the model could help improve the chosen issue or diagnosis/health care issue.
· Organizes content with a clear purpose. Content flows logically with smooth transitions using coherent paragraphs, correct grammar/punctuation, word choice, and free of spelling errors
· Exhibits strict and flawless adherence to APA formatting of headings, intext citations, and references. Quotes and paraphrases correctly.
