The Institute of Medicine defines evidence-based practice (EBP) as “the integration of best research, clinical expertise, and patient values in making decisions about the care of individualized patients.” Research findings are a collection of facts. They become evidence when the findings are relevant and useful in particular clinical circumstances. Using research to guide clinical decision making is a shift in culture from basing decisions on opinion, past experiences, and precedents to basing decisions on science, research, and evidence. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality published Making Health Care Safer: A Critical Analysis of Patient Safety Practices. This document outlines 79 evidencebased practices and targets related to patient safety. The 11 recommendations with the strongest research support have a direct connection to critical care practice (Table 1). Carol A.

متن کاملThe effect of Lameness before and during the breeding season on fertility in 10 pasture-based Irish dairy herds
BACKGROUND The effects of lameness on fertility have been documented frequently but few data are available from seasonally breeding, pasture-based herds (such as those used in Ireland) where cows are housed during the winter months but managed at pasture for the remainder of the year. This study determined the prevalence of lameness in a group of 786 cows in 10 pasture-based Irish dairy herds b...
