AORN's Revised Model for Evidence Appraisal and Rating
AORN Journal
|January 10, 2016
Summary
AORN now offers its own evidence-based practice tools for perioperative nurses and students. These new tools help appraise research and assign evidence ratings to guide practice decisions.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Evidence-Based Practice
Background:
- AORN perioperative specialists previously used adapted evidence-based practice tools.
- Developing in-house tools enhances the appraisal process for perioperative nursing.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce AORN's proprietary evidence appraisal tools and model.
- To support nurses and students in evaluating evidence for perioperative practice.
Main Methods:
- Development of a new evidence rating model.
- Creation of a revised hierarchy of evidence.
- Expansion of existing appraisal tools.
Main Results:
- AORN now possesses its own comprehensive suite of evidence appraisal tools.
- The tools facilitate the assignment of evidence ratings to inform practice.
Conclusions:
- The new AORN tools empower nurses and students to conduct rigorous evidence appraisal.
- These resources are designed to enhance evidence-based decision-making in perioperative settings.

When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Data Validation

Data validation is an essential part of a comprehensive assessment. Validation is confirming or verifying and opening the door to gathering more assessment data as it clarifies vague or unclear data. The process of checking and verifying the collected information is called data validation. The primary purpose of data validation is to ensure data is as free from error, bias, and misinterpretation as possible.
