Research Methods and Evidence-Based Practice
Week 5
Discussion
DQ1 Select one of the Models presented in this unit.
Describe how this model would be effective for implementing EBP and/or Best
practices in the practice, administration, or education setting. Consider how
you might introduce this change. What barriers might you confront?
DQ2 According to Porter O’Gradey and Malloch (2015), “In the
twentieth century the focus of work was on performing the right processes. In
the twenty-first-century the focus is on obtaining the right outcomes” (p. 4).
The purpose of using evidence to guide practice is to promote positive
outcomes. How do you see yourself as a change agent guiding others to move from
a process focus to an outcomes focus? Discuss this in relationship to your area
of concentration – practice and/or education. Elaborate the rationale behind
the change from process to outcomes.
