Evidence-Based Oncology Practice: Competencies for Improved Patient Outcomes
1Legacy Wellmont Cancer Institute, Bristol, Virginia.
Journal of the Advanced Practitioner in Oncology
|July 17, 2019
Summary
Oncology advanced practice providers (APP) must master evidence-based practice (EBP) to deliver high-quality cancer care. Embracing EBP ensures optimal patient outcomes and reduces healthcare costs.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Healthcare Practice
- Evidence-Based Practice
Background:
- Oncology advanced practice providers (APP) are essential in cancer care delivery.
- Rapid scientific advancements challenge APPs to stay current with medical knowledge.
- Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a crucial tool for APPs to navigate complex oncology care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To emphasize the critical role of EBP competencies for oncology APPs.
- To highlight how EBP integration improves patient care quality and outcomes.
- To underscore the responsibility of proficient APPs in promoting EBP as a standard of care.
Main Methods:
- This is a conceptual and practice-based abstract, not a research study.
- Focuses on the importance and application of EBP competencies.
- Discusses the professional responsibilities of APPs in EBP mentorship and leadership.
Main Results:
- Mastery of EBP competencies is obligatory for oncology APPs.
- EBP integration leads to superior patient care, improved outcomes, and reduced healthcare costs.
- Proficient APPs have a responsibility to mentor and lead EBP adoption.
Conclusions:
- EBP is indispensable for oncology APPs to provide high-quality cancer care.
- Adherence to EBP ensures the best patient outcomes and optimizes healthcare expenditures.
- Oncology APPs must assume leadership roles to establish EBP as the standard of care.

02:55The Evidence for Evolution
47.7K
Genetic variations accumulating within populations over generations give rise to biological evolution. Evolutionary changes can result in the formation of novel varieties and entire new species. These changes are responsible for the diverse forms of life inhabiting the planet. The evidence for evolution suggests that all living organisms descended from common ancestors.

02:24Predicting Reaction Outcomes
10.3K
Kinetics describes the rate and path by which a reaction occurs. In contrast, thermodynamics deals with state functions and describes the properties, behavior, and components of a system. It is not concerned with the path taken by the process and cannot address the rate at which a reaction occurs. Although it does provide information about what can happen during a reaction process, it does not describe the detailed steps of what appears on an atomic or a molecular level. On the other hand,...

106.8K
Nearly all the energy used by cells comes from the bonds that make up complex organic compounds. These organic compounds are broken down into simpler molecules, such as glucose. As a result, cells extract energy from glucose over many chemical reactions—a process called cellular respiration.
Cellular respiration can occur aerobically (with oxygen) or anaerobically (without oxygen). In the presence of oxygen, cellular respiration starts with glycolysis and continues with pyruvate...

01:11Guidelines for Writing Outcome
3.7K
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...

01:16Characteristics of Practical Op Amps

A difference amplifier, a crucial component in numerous electronic devices, ideally amplifies only the difference-mode signal, which is the difference between two input signals. However, in practical circuits, the output voltage depends on both the differential gain and the common-mode gain.
The ratio of differential gain to the common-mode gain is defined as the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). This ratio quantifies the ability of operational amplifiers (op-amps) to reject common-mode...

Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...
