Summary
Developing a robust evidence portfolio is crucial for healthcare decisions. This systematic process ensures comprehensive data on therapy efficacy, safety, and outcomes for providers and payers.
Area of Science:
- Health Economics and Outcomes Research
- Clinical Evidence Synthesis
- Health Technology Assessment
Background:
- Healthcare decisions increasingly depend on published clinical evidence.
- A systematic approach is needed to generate comprehensive evidence portfolios.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a six-step strategic process for evidence development and publication planning.
- To ensure evidence portfolios meet the needs of providers, payers, and governmental agencies.
Main Methods:
- Critical assessment of existing literature.
- Identification of evidence gaps.
- Strategic planning to address identified gaps.
Main Results:
- A structured approach to evidence generation.
- A portfolio of evidence covering efficacy, safety, durability, quality of life, and economic outcomes.
- Facilitation of informed clinical and coverage decisions.
Conclusions:
- A systematic, strategic process is essential for creating robust evidence portfolios.
- This process supports patient access to therapies by informing key stakeholders.
- The outlined strategy addresses the informational demands for modern healthcare decision-making.

01:27Fundamentals of Nursing Process I
The nursing process is the core of practice for every registered nurse to deliver holistic, patient-focused care. The following are the five steps in the nursing process.
01:25Fundamentals of Nursing Process II
There are several characteristics related to delivering nursing care. One vital characteristic of the nursing process is that it can be used to protect nurses and justify the provided care. Productive use of the nursing process requires the knowledge and skills of nurses to assess and solve issues. Nurses should develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills and evidence-based nursing interventions to improve their skills in formulating nursing care plans. A well-defined approach to...
01:21Planning Nursing Care I
The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...
01:18The Scientific Method in Nursing Process
The scientific method provides the foundation for any research. It is the most reliable and objective of all forms of gaining knowledge and guides in applying research-based evidence in practice and conducting future research.
When using research findings to change practice, one must understand the process used to guide a study. The scientific method is a systematic, step-by-step process that supports the data's validity, reliability, and generalizability. As a result, findings can be safely...

01:21Methods of Documentation III: PIE
Problem-intervention-evaluation (PIE) is a systematic approach to documentation used in healthcare settings for clinical decision-making and patient care planning. It is a structured approach to organizing patient data based on problems, interventions, and evaluations. Here's a breakdown of its key features and considerations:
01:25Role of Communication in the Nursing Process II: Planning and Implementation
Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time for...
