Evidence-Based Project, Part 5: Recommending An Evidence-Based Practice Change

To Prepare:

Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you critically appraised in Module 4.
Reflect on your current healthcare organization and think about potential opportunities for evidence-based change.
The Assignment: (Evidence-Based Project)

Part 5: Recommending an Evidence-Based Practice Change

Create an 8- to 9-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:

Briefly describe your healthcare organization, including its culture and readiness for change. (You may opt to keep various elements of this anonymous, such as your company name.)
Describe the current problem or opportunity for change. Include in this description the circumstances surrounding the need for change, the scope of the issue, the stakeholders involved, and the risks associated with change implementation in general.
Propose an evidence-based idea for a change in practice using an EBP approach to decision making. Note that you may find further research needs to be conducted if sufficient evidence is not discovered.
Describe your plan for knowledge transfer of this change, including knowledge creation, dissemination, and organizational adoption and implementation.
Describe the measurable outcomes you hope to achieve with the implementation of this evidence-based change.
Be sure to provide APA citations of the supporting evidence-based peer reviewed articles you selected to support your thinking.
Add a lessons learned section that includes the following:
A summary of the critical appraisal of the peer-reviewed articles you previously submitted
An explanation about what you learned from completing the evaluation table (1 slide)
An explanation about what you learned from completing the levels of evidence table (1 slide)
An explanation about what you learned from completing the outcomes synthesis table (1 slide)

Acute Care Settings

Major Variables Studied

List and define dependent and independent variables

Participants Studies reporting in-hospital falls for intervention groups and concurrent (e.g., controlled trials) or historic comparators (e.g., before-after studies).

The belt, older people,

Dependent - Falls, independent - exercise,

Dependent- the relative risk of a fall per occupied bed day (RR(fall)) and independent - the relative risk of being a faller (RR(faller))

Measurement

Identify primary statistics used to answer clinical questions

Incidence rate ratios (IRR, ratio of fall rate post intervention or treatment group to the fall rate pre-intervention or control group) and ratings of study details.

Electronic fall prevention tool kit which triggered automatic ordered interventions.

multifactorial interventions including exercise to prevent inpatient falls in older adults

The primary outcome was patient falls per 1000 patient-days adjusted for site and patient care unit. A secondary outcome was fall-related injuries.

Data Analysis

Statistical or

qualitative

findings

Meta-regressions analysis

Effect sizes (odds ratios) and 95% confidence intervals were derived for individual studies and then combined across research reports using a random-effects meta-analysis.

Intervention group participants in this subgroup analysis had a significantly lower incidence of falls than their control group counterparts (control: 16.0 falls/1000 participant-days, intervention: 8.2 falls/1000 participant-days, log-rank test: P = 0.007). However few differences in secondary balance, strength and mobility outcomes were evident.

Hospitalization further increases risk of falls

Findings and Recommendations

General findings and recommendations of the research

Study shows better reporting of outcomes, implementation, adherence, intervention components, and comparison group information is necessary to establish evidence on how hospitals can successfully prevent falls.

Fall prevention strategies have a significant but small effect on fall rates despite the use of complex, multidisciplinary interventions. Additional randomized trials are needed to examine the possible benefits of multidisciplinary fall prevention strategies in the acute inpatient setting.

This exercise programme provided in addition to usual care may assist in the prevention of falls in the sub-acute hospital setting.

The authors found that precautionary care including a falls safety champion reduced the occurrence of injurious falls by 58.3% (n=36).

Appraisal

Describe the general worth of this research to practice. What are the strengths and limitations of study? What are the risks associated with implementation of the suggested practices or processes detailed in the research? What is the feasibility of use in your practice?

Adherence methodologies are of specific significance for long haul changes

A broad eligibility criterion was incorporated in the study and questions were clearly reviewed and addressed.

Participants had their balance, strength and mobility assessed upon referral for the exercise programme and then again prior to discharge.

The use of a fall prevention tool kit in hospital units compared with usual care significantly reduced rate of falls.

Outcomes

Studies had to report on the outcome of inpatient falls.

Fall prevention help should be considered along patient’s cultural differences.

Properly implemented fall prevention strategies and interventions are important for older adults

Falls cause injury and death for persons of all ages, but risk of falls increases markedly with age.

Key Findings

Meta-regressions showed some evidence of the importance of adherence levels to reduce falls

Fall prevention strategies have a significant but small effect on fall rates despite the use of complex, multidisciplinary interventions.

This exercise programme provided in addition to usual care may assist in the prevention of falls in the sub-acute hospital setting

The analysis of this study show that fall prevention strategies according to risk category and insufficient to prevent falls, especially low risk patients.
