LEVEL 1

LEVEL 2

LEVEL 3

Level 1

• Constructed priorities and preferences• Road Map defining evidence literacy• Narrative, clinical and epidemiological skills

Level 2

• Clinical policies and recommendations• Specific health care settings• Guideline appraisal and adaptation• The GRADE system• Building in adaptability, actionability

Level 3

• Team based problem definition• Gathering ‘internal’ + ‘external’ evidence• Consider health services, implementation research• Monitoring measurable and sustainable impact • Maintaining currency

A Common Skill Matrix Across Dimensions

• Problem delineation• Formulating information needs• Finding the most relevant evidence• Appraising evidence quality and importance• Evaluating relevance, interpreting applicability• Assimilation

(Teaching) Evidence Assimilation

Evidence from research: Lead protagonist or supporting cast?

• Scientifically informed individualized care• Evidence-informed clinical policies • Knowledge-based quality improvement• The narrative dimension

The TEACH Experience

Clinical/Administrative• Problem driven• Comprehensive team• QI present, subordinated• Systematic approach

– Lit review– Chart review– Baseline outcomes

• 18 months to launch• Prize winning results

Quality Improvement• Intervention driven• Limited team• QI operationally in charge• Shortcuts

– Direct planning to implement– No baseline data

• 6 months to launch• Modest results

DRIVERS

Attributes “QI” vs “KT”• Process OC• Error• Variation• Short turn around• QI team• Industrial standards

• Patient-centered OC• Unnecessary care • Innovation• Intermediate turn around• Organizational engagement• Scientific standards

KT or QI

Hence: EBM + QI ≠ KBI

Comparative Effectiveness and Practice Based Research: The Frontiers of “EBP”

• The importance of local, or ‘internal’ evidence • The importance of practice experience• PBR-blurring the boundary between ‘research’

and ‘practice’• Classical clinical research remains valuable,

frequently crucial, but nontheless indirect
