Evidence Based Practice

/in /by

March 21, 2010, was not EBP’s 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.

To Prepare:

· Review the Resources and reflect on the definition and goal of EBP.

· Choose a professional healthcare organization’s website (e.g., a reimbursing body, an accredited body, or a national initiative).

· Explore the website to determine where and to what extent EBP is evident.

 

By Day 3 of Week 1

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 organization’s work is grounded in EBP and why or why not. Finally, explain whether the information you discovered on the healthcare organization’s website has changed your perception of the healthcare organization. Be specific and provide examples.

Media Tool

Watch the video “Testosterone and Crime” at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0AOUNN051Q

  • ForaTV discusses evolutionary biologist Steve Jones’ notes that genes responsible for circulating testosterone in men are also to blame for most violent and criminal behavior.
  • Summarize the information from the video.
  • Discussion: Assume that there is a relationship between testosterone and crime. Also assume that young males have high amounts of testosterone. Should they be monitored closely? What may be the positive and negative consequences of closer monitoring?

3. Debate whether nature or nurture is more responsible for criminal behavior.

4. Read about the middle-class enclave of Chatman on page 148 in the textbook. Discuss the concept of collective efficacy and how it relates to social disorganization and crime. Why can some neighborhoods remain stable while others cannot.

Q5

You are the Commissioner of the National Football League (NFL) and are facing a media onslaught as your most popular athlete has just tested positive for steroids and will be suspended from participation for a specified period of time (i.e., per NFL and NFL Players’ Union labor contract). This player is the face (i.e., image) of the NFL and has a great reputation with the general public in all franchise cities (e.g., New York, Denver, Seattle). Endorsement deals to promote this athlete (as well as the NFL) are constantly being solicited and potential revenue has previously existed from several industries. What is your plan of action towards the media regarding the NFL’s, the athlete’s, and franchise’s images? In addition, how will you discipline the athlete’s recent behavior? Obviously, the public will be evaluating your decisions.

 

Q6

Sally, a fifty year old female, is a female soccer coach at a local community college. Jimmy, a twenty-five year old man, is a candidate for an assistant coaching position.  Based on his qualifications, Sally hired Jimmy.  After six months, Sally and Jimmy developed a romantic relationship while on a road trip.  After months of sexual encounters, Jimmy broke up the relationship because his college-aged girlfriend found out about Jimmy’s relationship with Sally.

After that, Jimmy started discussing his relationship with Sally with a number of his friends at a local college pub and posted some nude photos of Sally on an internet website.  Soon, rumors about the relationship spread across the college.  Then Sally confronted Jimmy about the situation.  Sally threatened to terminate Jimmy’s employment with the school based on his behavior.  In response, Jimmy told Sally that if she terminates him, he will sue her and the school for wrongful termination and sexual harassment.  Jimmy and Sally worked together for another three months, when Sally quit after the season.  A month later, Sally sued the community college and Jimmy for hostile work environment, sexual harassment and constructive discharge.  Assess the merits of Sally’s claims and any defenses that Jimmy and the community college may raise.
