[Download Now] Interpreting Evidence: An Innovative 5-Step Approach for Clinical Application – Brigani “Briggs” G. Amante

You don’t have to experience that feeling again.

• Find the BEST evidence-based answer to your clinical question in just 5 minutes
• Analyze effective quality appraisal tools & intention-to-treat
• Understand statistical tests – and relevance within clinical practice
• Confidently explain your treatment decisions to other members of the medical team
• Practice new research skills using a variety of clinical scenarios – bring your laptop/tablet!
• Develop a systematic approach to choose the most appropriate database

Finding and interpreting research data in a busy clinical setting can be difficult with a growing body of scientific literature. In less than 10 minutes, you will learn how to locate the best evidence-based answer to a clinical question. Incorporating the best evidence in clinical practice enables cost-effective care, improves reimbursement of treatments provided, and leads to the best patient care outcomes. To implement evidence-based practice, you need to have a strategy in place to minimize the time involved in literature searching for clinical questions that arise, so that productivity standards in the workplace can be maintained.

The course accentuates a 5-step methodology of effectively crafting a clinical question, selecting the best database, assessing the applicability of the evidence to the patient, interpreting various statistical tests, and understanding the quality of the evidence. This hands-on workshop will allow participants to explore their own research questions. Evidence-based practice does not include presenting evidence. The applicability of learned concepts is enhanced by this workshop and clinical scenarios.

OBJECTIVES

1. Define the elements of evidence-based practice in the context of patient goals in clinical practice.
2. Analyze the rationale behind each step in successfully answering a clinical question with guidance from the available research.
3. Determine the best treatment option/s, using the 5 steps, and apply them to achieve excellent patient care.
4. Discuss evidence-based approaches for common orthopedic problems, screening for dysphagia, early mobilization in acute stroke, early mobilization in acute deep venous thrombosis, fall risk, chronic kidney disease, & patients on dialysis.
5. Practice the five-step approach to answer a clinical question with the best evidence currently available.
6. Explain the challenge when adopting a single example from evidence to guide practice.
7. Understand statistical tests and the relevance in clinical care.
8. Apply quality appraisal tools, including the intention-to-treat analysis.
