Fundamentals of Evidence-Based Practice in Health and Social Care

Fundamentals Of
Evidence-Based Practice-
Pearson Set Project
Unit 4

INTRODUCTION
The evidence-based practices has a main objective to furnish best and appropriate care so
that health of patients can be improved. It is based on person's conscience that are used for
making decision for their patient that are depend on evidence of health care. The evidence-based
practices are depend on research as it helps in identifying occurrence of disease in order to
deliver quality of services. This is an approach which is linked with health and social care
organisation. This report is includes effect of funding that are used to safeguard adults effectively
(Lockwood and Mei, 2015). This report include purpose and process of administrating research
in health and social care organisation. There are skills and attribute are necessary to conduct a
literature review are discussed in this. Moreover, literature research is discussed with the help of
related sources and topic. There are different advantages of evidence-based practices in
conducting research. The project proposal is also mentioned and influence of these practices on
health and social care organisation. The recent evidence-based practices have a positive impact
on improving service in health and social care.
TASK 1
P1)
There are some criteria occur in research from which service outcomes can be effectively
improved. This practise consists of guidelines, reviews and practices so that quality of health
care can be improved. This can be enhance by health care expertise and management in health
and social care organisation (Phillips, 2015). It is necessary in health care organisation as it
enhance services in an appropriate manner from which services can deliver in an effective
manner. It is beneficial in improving services among adults as to prevent those from abuse and
neglect from their services. In addition to this, evidence-based practices helps in creating less
complication in the care of service users.
The purpose of conducting research is to improve quality of treatments that are given to
service users. By identifying safety of patients, positive outcome and improvement in quality, the
quality of health can be improved. The health care practitioner need to follow different practices
that are need to develop appropriate outcomes of health care services. There are some steps occur
in evidence-based practices such as questions that are prepared from valid information so that
best evidence can be evaluated. From this, facts and data can be recognised by evaluation

process of this evidence. There are different approaches which are need in evidence-based
practices so that effective results can be implemented in health and social care organisation.
These approaches includes ingratiation questions, literature identification, measuring and
choosing relatively information. It also includes link of this evidence with patients, a action plan,
applying findings and evaluation of outcomes. The quality of services can be improved by
applying this evidence-based practices in health and social care organisation. This practices are
essential in clinical practices as their aim is to modify care quality in order to enhance health of
patients.
The process of administrating research includes some methodology such as quantitative
method. It also includes primary and secondary data from which information can be collected
through various resources such as surveys, interviews, etc. As there are some steps are also
included in processing of research. It includes identification of issues, reviewing literature,
clarification, clear concepts, identify population, develop a plan, collecting and analysing data.
There are eight steps of process of research in which the first step is to identify the
problem so that research question can be develop. The second step includes review the literature
in which researcher must review it and learn more about it. With in the third step of research,
clarification of problem occur. After it, the fourth steps includes to clarify terms and definition so
that confusion can be minimized. It is necessary to identify population on which research is
conducted which is occur in fifth step of research process. With in sixth steps, the researcher
need to develop instrumentation plan from which they can conduct entire research. The seven
steps includes collecting of data that help in providing information about research. After all
steps, it is necessary to analyse all data that has been gathered.
P2)
There are skills and attribute are required in evidence-based practices so that literature
can be easily conduct in health and social care organisation. This help organisation in conducting
practices in an appropriate manner so that quality of care can effective for patients (McLaughlin
and DeVoogd, 2017). There are various abilities of health care practitioner including skills and
knowledge which are needed to be acquire by them in order to enhance care by overcoming
barriers. This will be occur at the time of conducting literature review in health and social care.
The skills and knowledge are required by health practitioner in their personal and professionals
work role. These skills are described below as per their role.
