The definition of evidence-based practice varies based on the nursing practice and evidence being applied to improve patient outcomes. I agree with your argument that EBPO utilizes data collected through clinical experience DeNisco and Barker (2016) shows that EBP has significantly improved clinical decisions. It also promotes changes through translational research.
Translational research ensures that the implementation of new interventions follows the required protocol in improving care outcomes. According to Weiss et al., 2017 EBP has improved access to effective clinical guidelines. It has enhanced essential knowledge needed to deliver best practice through translational research.
Population health issues have become ing complex and require advanced methods to monitor uncontrolled healthcare issues. For example, nurses can monitor uncontrolled tytpe1 diabetes in a pediatric population could be studied differently depending on translational and EBP. Understanding clinical outcomes are critical in monitoring the condition. PICOT framework offers a guideline for reviewing population health issues by considering the nature of the population, interventions comparison, and outcomes. The pediatric population needs additional interventions and advanced EBP to deliver the right interventions. Home health visits promote compliance and clinical outcomes based n treatment intervention also offers a platform to review the rate of improvements and clinical outcomes from the pediatric patients. Decreasing hospital admission rates for pediatric patients is critical in monitoring the efficiency of home care programs. It creates a platform to monitor the response and changes that patients exhibit within 3-5 years. The strategy also offers an opportunity for clinical research.
Translational research also creates a protocol for monitoring the quality of EBP in addressing diabetic ketoacidosis among the studied patients. Therefore, both EBP and translational research play an essential role in delivering improved care outcomes to the targeted populations.
