Essentials of Evidence-Based Practice

Healthcare organizations continually seek to optimize healthcare performance. For years, this approach was a three-pronged one known as the Triple Aim, with efforts focused on improved population health, enhanced patient experience, and lower healthcare costs.
More recently, this approach has evolved to a Quadruple Aim by including a focus on improving the work life of healthcare providers. Each of these measures are impacted by decisions made at the organizational level, and organizations have increasingly turned to EBP to inform and justify these decisions.

Introduction
Evidence-based practice (EBP) improves the achievement of quality patient experience, reducing the cost of care, improving population health, and promoting work-life balance. Studies show that when clinicians use EBP, patient outcomes improve (Sikka et al., 2015). EBP acts as a compass to guide the decision-making process of healthcare workers in addressing the diverse needs of the patients and improve the wellbeing of practitioners. EBP is a systematic method to achieve the quadruple aim that promotes the interests of both patients and healthcare workers.
EBP and Quadruple Aim
Patient Experience
EBP is essential in achieving a quality patient experience. Healthcare workers use EBP to apply the findings in clinical practice. Healthcare workers rely on EBP to improve patient outcomes and prevent adverse patient outcomes (Jeffs, 2018). EBP acts as a compass to guide the decision-making process of healthcare workers in addressing the diverse needs of the patients. The scientific findings help nurses to evaluate the risks and effectiveness of diagnostic tests, treatment plans, and drugs (Sikka et al., 2015). EBP helps healthcare workers to improve the efficiency of delivering quality care including timely appointments and enhancing access to information that promotes positive outcomes.
Population Health
EBP educates the public and healthcare workers on the measures they can take to improve public health. Scientific findings demonstrate the measures that can prevent conditions such as asthma (Lavenberg et al., 2019). For example, renovating houses can prevent the risk of asthma and other respiratory conditions. Another example is using a pro-bono system to take care of the uninsured (Lavenberg et al., 2019). EBP shows the importance of the efficient and equitable distribution of resources to address the prevailing health issues in society. Classification of people at risk of diseases helps healthcare workers to respond effectively.
Costs
Provision of quality, safe, and timely care to patients at a low cost is one of the challenges in the healthcare cost. EBP helps healthcare facilities to capture, index, and measure actual costs. Sikka et al. (2015), show that reducing the cost of care increases access to quality care. Scientific findings show the need to use the latest technology to improve patient outcomes and reduce cost (Lavenberg et al., 2019). For example, studies show that improving efficiency, using the latest technology, and treatment methods reduce the cost of treatment.
Work-Life of Healthcare Providers
EBP demonstrates that work-life balance is crucial in promoting the welfare of healthcare workers and improves patient outcomes. Scientific findings show that poor work-life balance can lead to turnover, burnout, and low staff productivity. Sikka et al. (2015), demonstrate that 60 percent of the physicians are considering leaving the workforce while another 70 percent know someone who left due to low morale (Jeffs, 2018). EBP acts as a compass to show the direction that healthcare workers and facilities should take to improve the wellbeing of practitioners.
Conclusion
EBP acts as a compass to show the direction that healthcare workers and facilities should take to improve the wellbeing of practitioners and promote quality patient outcomes. Healthcare workers rely on EBP to improve patient outcomes, reduce the cost of care, and prevent adverse patient outcomes. EBP helps healthcare workers to improve the efficiency of delivering quality care to reduce cost and improve accessibility to achieve positive population health outcomes. Scientific findings show the role of work-life balance in achieving quality outcomes in healthcare.References
