 Data Management in Research, Quality Improvement (QI) and Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)

Have you ever considered the importance of research in nursing? How might research shape the delivery of healthcare? Research in nursing began with Florence Nightingale in 1850 and has continued to transform in complexity and scope every year since (Gray & Grove, 2020). The field and practice of nursing are greatly influenced by the implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP) and quality improvement (QI) initiatives, and in this first Discussion, you will analyze research to identify gaps in knowledge and practice.

For this Discussion, you will analyze three different articles: a research study, a published quality improvement article, and a completed evidence-based DNP project to answer the prompts provided.

Data Management in Research, Quality Improvement (QI) and Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)

The research article reveals a gap in knowledge by highlighting that despite existing studies, there remains an unanswered question or insufficient evidence about a specific clinical issue. In other words, current research does not fully explain or resolve the phenomenon under investigation.

The quality improvement (QI) study, by contrast, uncovers a gap in practice. Stakeholder input (as emphasized on p. 95) shows that the way care is delivered deviates from the evidence‐based standard. This discrepancy between what is done and what should be done signals a need for practice change. Thus, while the research article points to the need for further inquiry to fill an evidentiary void, the QI study demonstrates that established evidence is not being consistently applied in practice (Walden Canvas, n.d.).

According to Dang et al. (2021, p. 95), a critical early step in the PET process is to “identify stakeholders”—that is, to bring together those who have firsthand experience with the clinical problem and can speak to what is missing or suboptimal in current practice. 
In  an evaluation of these works, it is evident that both research and quality improvement are similar in some ways, while in others, they contrast. The two differ in gap analysis, where research study and address primarily  theoretical and methodological gaps in data management,  while QI focuses on practice, In methodology, research study uses experimental or observational methods, while QI applies process improvement models. In the area of question formulation, research seeks to generate new knowledge, while QI examines practical improvements. Their outcome focus differ in that while research study measures data validity and reliability, QI study assesses improvements in data management efficiency, while  the DNP EBP project evaluates patient outcomes and staff adherence to best practices. In summary for these  complements and contrasts,  the basis in differences has  QI focusing  on performance improvement while research focuses on new discoveries (University of Maryland School of Nursing, n.d.). In these processes, improvement in patient outcomes and staff adherence to best practices are the standard factors to gauge the converging of stakeholders to providing solutions to findings discovered, QI  studies  the  perfecting  of what was discovered and EBP in producing good patient outcome.

The DNP EBP Project therefore needs evidence-based data management practices to support QI initiatives.  Brunt et al (2023) describes evidence-based practice as a structured problem-solving method that relies on evidence and integrates new knowledge into clinical and administrative settings.

In conclusion, findings have  shown that synthesized  QI studies and research studies, the DNP EBP project  ensure that effective  implementation is made used of data  strategies and management which provide  evident based practice  leading to enhanced quality and patient care outcomes.
