Tips from TSE: Conduct an analysis of healthcare practices
Staff Development Weekly: Insight on Evidence-Based Practice in Education, May 22, 2009
Evidence-based practice in staff development requires a continual analysis of healthcare practices. Start by looking at the tasks that must be done to conduct a thorough program analysis. The tasks are broken down into four components:
- Program components that need to be identified
- Elements that need to be described
- Best practices and/benchmarks that should be determined
- Conclusions that should be verified and a mechanism for such verification
There are many side benefits of program analysis. In addition to revamping programs so that they are more conducive to EBP, you can also begin to conduct staff development research for the purpose of identifying benchmarks and best practices.
