Second Annual
2003 Summer Institute on Evidence-Based practice
“Best Practice: Improving Quality”
OVERVIEW
The Institute prepares health care professionals for an increasingly active role in evidence-based practice (EBP) to translate research into practice and improve patient care outcomes. With the quality of care, cost control, and patient outcomes as national concerns, providers can maximize clinical effectiveness through fuller use of scientific evidence in practice. The overall goal of this Institute is to build skills for integrating evidence-based practice for quality care.
The 2003 Institute focuses on “Best Practice—Improving Quality,”andemphasizes strategies to achieve quality in healthcare. Nurses, physicians, pharmacists, administrators, educators, and researchers will be equipped to engage in an active role in evidence-based practice and will develop strategies for taking evidence to the bedside.
During the 2½-day Institute, noted EBP experts will present a coordinated curriculum. Major topics will include "crossing the quality chasm," finding and implementing clinical practice guidelines, changing practice with evidence, and evaluating impact. Participants will explore specific clinical topics and case studies in smaller sessions to build skills in producing evidence-based improvements and increasing the healthcare team’s capacity to integrate EBP in their institution.
Throughout the conference, participants will have opportunities to interact, browse exhibits of guidelines, tool kits, and reference management software, and review poster presentations from across the nation. Opportunities are offered for participants to interact about their own EBP activities through poster and oral abstract presentations.
The Institute also includes these special opportunities:
- Presentations of best practice projects (See CALL FOR ABSTRACTS)
- Pre- and Post-Masters, Pre- and Post-Doctoral Coursework
The program is planned in conjunction with clinicians, educators, researchers, and administrators from multiple disciplines and from private, VA, and military healthcare agencies.
