This session will concentrate on the outcomes that have been achieved when technology has been intentionally designed to deliver evidence-based content to the fingertips of the clinician. The impact of delivering evidence into an interdisciplinary evidence-based integrated documentation system will focus on the outcomes of knowing the patient's story, having a valued interdisciplinary plan of care, stopping duplication and repetition and preventing common complications. The practical leadership decision making to assure the ability to reach and sustain the clinical outcomes will be correlated to day-to-day operations. The statistically significant clinical outcomes experienced by the Consortium who engaged in the work to implement evidence-based practice at the point of care will be correlated to professional standards, federal, governmental, credentialing as well as JCASHO, Magnet, NQF and IHI initiatives.
