Learning Objective 1: Articulate the rationale for evidence-based practice to be incorporated into health information technology
Learning Objective 2: 2. Describe innovative strategies to collaborate in order to meet specified quality outcomes.
This presentation will highlight the major shifts in healthcare today that are calling for the ability to measure quality outcomes with health information technology. Never has there been more of an opportunity for nursing practice, research and informatics to collaborate on innovative strategies to incorporate evidence-based practice in multiple healthcare settings. The speaker will provide a brief historical overview with lessons from the past on health information technology followed by a major focus on current events that are opening the doors for innovation and collaborative models to demonstrate quality outcomes supported by evidence-based practice. While the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and Meaningful Use criteria are specific to the U.S., there are many lessons that will be learned and applied globally as hospitals and providers strive to meet new criteria that must be based on evidence-based practice to meet the defined measures. Concrete examples of integrating evidence-based practice within the electronic health record will be shared to meet quality metric standards. Case studies and outcomes from a diverse international consortium will be explored to expose innovative strategies when implementing and sustaining the evidence as well.
