Assignment: Evidence-Based Practice and the Quadruple Aim
\nHealthcare 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.
\nMore 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.
\nTo Prepare:
\n\u2022 Read the articles by Sikka, Morath, & Leape (2015); Crabtree, Brennan, Davis, & Coyle (2016); and Kim et al. (2016) provided in the Resources.
\n\u2022 Reflect on how EBP might impact (or not impact) the Quadruple Aim in healthcare.
\n\u2022 Consider the impact that EBP may have on factors impacting these quadruple aim elements, such as preventable medical errors or healthcare delivery.
\nTo Complete:
\nWrite a brief analysis (no longer than 2 pages) of the connection between EBP and the Quadruple Aim.
\nYour analysis should address how EBP might (or might not) help reach the Quadruple Aim, including each of the four measures of:
\n\u2022 Patient experience
\n\u2022 Population health
\n\u2022 Costs
\n\u2022 Work life of healthcare providers<\/p>\n

\nEvidence-Based Practice<\/p>\n
Introduction
\nAccording to Schmidt & Brown (2017) evidence \u2013based practice is the integration of personal clinical expertise with up to date available data. It improves the work life of healthcare workers, decrease care costs, improve population health and also enhance the patient experience including the satisfaction and quality. Current research shows that despite of health workers having positive attitudes and adequate knowledge towards EBP, they still face many obstacles in putting it into practice. Quadruple aims can be achieved through the following;
\nContinuous education programs on up to date research
\nThis will improve the work life of nurses for they will be able to provide care with confident hence win their patients trust (Sikka, Morath & Leape, 2015). Through continuous education the nurses\u2019 skills and knowledge are enhanced and therefore they become competent and provide improved quality of care
\nAvailability of adequate resources and tools for point \u2013of-care
\nAvailability of enough resources ensures that EBP is planned for, and its budget is also prepared in advance (Sikka, Morath & Leape, 2015). The cost of care will decrease because the communicable and comorbid diseases are cared for improving the populations health.
\nCollaboration between nurses, their leaders and other health providers
\nLack of resistance on EBP among health providers improves the quality of care since they will all be ready to learn about up to date data (Townsend & Morgan, 2017). This will change their attitudes and misperceptions towards the current research improving their lives as health providers. They will also be ready to know what it entails and therefor they will practice it.
\nmodern politics and policies that support research
\nWith the availability of cultures and environments that support EPB there will be improved care for every individual will see its importance (Schmidt & Brown, 2017). This will facilitate to its achievement because patients will share their experiences in terms of care quality and satisfaction thus motivating health providers to use it
\nAvailability of enough Evidence-based practice mentors
\nPresence of mentors in each health care will ensure that the current data is employed while care is provided (Townsend & Morgan, 2017). This will result into improved patient outcomes thus satisfying the patients.<\/p>\n
