6052C Discussion 1

March 21, 2010, was not EBPs date of birth, but it may be the date the approach grew up and left home to take on the world.

When the Affordable Care Act was passed, it came with a requirement of empirical evidence. Research on EBP increased significantly. Application of EBP spread to allied health professions, education, healthcare technology, and more. Health organizations began to adopt and promote EBP.

In this Discussion, you will consider this adoption. You will examine healthcare organization websites and analyze to what extent these organizations use EBP.

Post a description of the healthcare organization website you reviewed. Describe where, if at all, EBP appears (e.g., the mission, vision, philosophy, and/or goals of the healthcare organization, or in other locations on the website). Then, explain whether this healthcare organizations work is grounded in EBP and why or why not. Finally, explain whether the information you discovered on the healthcare organizations website has changed your perception of the healthcare organization. Be specific and provide examples.

This Week’s Discussion provides a great opportunity to see how another organization compares to yours. Please take some time to review a healthcare organization’s website and describe, if at all, where EBP appears. You may find that in the mission, vision, philosophy, and/or goals of the healthcare organization, or in other locations on the website.
