Creating high quality monographs: How do you get the right information to the committee without swamping them with unnecessary details? 4. How do you keep your committee discussions evidence-based if your members lack these skills? 5. How do you make decisions on factors other than evidence? 6. How do you avoid typical pitfalls? Delfini medical evidologists and information scientists, Sheri Ann Strite and Michael E. Stuart MD, answer these questions and more.

Download or read book The Pharmacist s Guide to Evidence Based Medicine for Clinical Decision Making written by Patrick J. Bryant and published by ASHP. This book was released on 2008-08-31 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take the Practical Approach to Applying EBM Principles Pharmacists who make clinical decisions based on experience alone overestimate the efficacy and underestimate the safety risks of drugs. This leads to variations in services and treatment that result in inappropriate care, lack of care, and increased healthcare costs. Evidence-based medicine (EBM) employs the scientific method as the key source of knowledge for making clinical decisions. This easy-to-use new guide provides a practical approach for confidently applying EBM principles in daily practice. It's a straightforward process that allows pharmacists to incorporate their own clinical judgment while they make firm decisions and recommendations based on results of rigorously conducted clinical trials. Based on a five-step process perfected over 10 years at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, School of Pharmacy, this exciting new method makes it easy to apply the EBM approach in clinical settings. The new process streamlines the highly technical and complex original EBM method, greatly reducing its complexity while maintaining rigor. Categorizing quality of the evidence in a simple and logical manner, it provides critical, time-sensitive support for clinical decision-making.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engaged team members were important in the adoption of all four studied P & T Committee decisions. Influential physicians and implementation activities varied in their importance depending on the decision being made. The presence of influential physicians on the P & T Committee appeared to facilitate both implementation activities and engagement of team members. Influences outside of the committee were insignificant as predictors of decision adoption, possibly an indicator of successful efforts mitigating their influence. This research begins to address previous research gaps about factors affecting adoption of P & T Committee decisions.
