Q

Why is organisation a barrier to implementation of research findings?

A

Q

How can your Peer group prevent implementation?

A

Members may have different standards of care and therefor believe more should be researched or things should be changed before the research is implemented.

Q

Why should we use a wide range of interventions?

Q

Why is there a hierarchy of evidence?

A

in order to provide the best care and treatment all three types of evidence must be combined.

Q

Why did the WHO checklist fail?

A

it wasnt used as there was no formal process of how to use it, so the evidence(checklist) was not replicated the same way as the initial study.

Q

What does the LHS allow?

A

movement of data between data types. data moves from research into clinical practice via DSRs (decision support roles)

Q

What is clinical trail data used for?

Study These Flashcards
A

It is used to complete Report forms & is stored in EHRs and research databases.

25
What is the TRANSFoRM project?
it allows the LHS to be used in many different environments
26
What is CDIM used for?
rhe transform project uses CDIM to integrate all data sources so that people from diff. hospitals/softwares can use the sam info.
27
What % of Deaths in the US are due to Medical errors?
3%
28
Why do Medical Errors happen?
Because of personal factors or environmental factors (ergonomic and human factors)
29
How User interfaces account for memory limitations?
the interface provides 4-5 concise options at once as working memory can only recall 9 items max.
30
Define CDSS
Clinical Decision Support Systems
31
what are CDSS'
they aid users in making decisions by reducing errors. they are fast and anticipate a user's need e.g. predictive text
32
3 criteria for CDSS usability
Effectiveness - can users perform the task Efficiency - how well is the task completed Satisfaction - was the user satisfied using the item
33
How does User-centered design work?
ADEI Analysis, Design, Evaluation & Implementation users and stakeholders are involved throughout development. Ensures the user is at the heart of the product creation
34
Define Big Data (4 Vs)
Data with a large variety, velocity, volume and Veracity(quality)
35
what are the 8 principles of NICE
Evidence, Value for money, fairness, Provide explanation, limits of autonomy, consultation not consensus, non-discriminatory & reduce inequalities
36
What are the five criteria of Prioritization & Rationing?
``` Clinical need Clinical effectiveness Cost effectiveness Capacity to benefit Patient characteristics ```
37
Define clinical need
the idea that "all that is clinically necessary and medically possible should be financed"
38
Define clinical effectiveness
Only interventions/treatment that achieve their goals should be financed
39
Define capacity to benefit
Patients who gain the most from treatment should be made the priority - e.g. it will save their life
40
Define Patient characteristics
when prioritizing treatment we should consider patient age, lifestyle and the severity of their disease.
41
Define cost effectiveness
the costs of treatment must match their expected benefit, cant pay a lot for nothing
42
define "quality care"
care that is positive, safe and effective
43
What are the 5 steps to putting Evidence Based Medicine into practice ?
``` 5 A's Assess Ask Acquire Appraise (risk) Apply ```
44
How do we assess in EBM?
ask clinical questions to ensure we have all the | CORRECT clinical information
45
What method of questioning is used in EBM
PICO method
46
define the PICO method
A questioning style used in EBM. Patient - what is wrong with this patient? Information - what treatment are they on/are you interested in Comparison - can different effects be expected versus another treatment Outcome - what outcome are you interested in happening “In Patients With End stage Renal disease w/ atrial fibrillation, who are given anticoagulation, does it prevent complications / from an embolic event?””
47
how is evidence acquired in EBM where can it be acquired?
search literature for research about trials and revies to help answer your PICO questions. Pubmed, Uptodate, Dynamed, Clinical guidelines
48
what 3 questions must be asked when appraising information received from studies?
does the study fit my patient ? (is the population group applicable) are the results valid? are the results clinically significant?
49
what % is a high risk?
1% - 1/100
50
how is EBM applied?
all 3 types of evidence are used in order to successfully apply EBM to patients
51
what % is a moderate-low risk?
0.1% - 0.01% | 1/1000 - 1/10000
52
what are the 3 types of evidence ?
Patient values + Best Research evidence + Clinical expertise
53
what are the 3 types of evidence ?
Patient values + Best Research evidence + Clinical expertise
54
define "stopping practice"
divesting from obsolete treatments when there are better ones available
55
What is a low value intervention?
the cost of the treatment is not representative of the value(outcome). the ratio is low.
56
What are the negative effects of a blanket ban?
all types of "low value" treatments would be banned which would cause some patients to be at risk.
57
What is Real World Data ? What is the relationship between RWD and Clinical trials?
all healthcare data collected outside of clinical trials, from patient registries, observational studies & Electronic health records. RWD can be used to create more specific clinical trials in terms of population size.
58
Where is RWD stored?
Claims Databases Social Networking EHRs
59
Define RWD
RWD = Real world studies & Real world evidence
