Answer 1

1. Evidence-based practice (EBP) is defined as a systematic approach to clinical decisionmaking to provide the most consistent and best possible care to patients

it is applied to the organisation and private practice,process to provide safe, high-quality care for hospitalized peadiatric patient, and reduce hospital error

Following are the evidence-based recommendation for improvement

1. Create a partnership for safety with all stakeholders—doctors, nurses, administrators, trustees, and patients. Care of children in hospitals necessitates the inclusion of parents or other surrogates among the safety stakeholders.

2. Develop a system for reporting errors that are free of blame. An effective reporting system encourages reporting by being confidential and impartial and assuring that no retribution for reporting occurs.

3. Foster open discussion of errors and near misses at all levels of the organization to identify risks, define goals, and measure progress in an environment where individuals feel comfortable discussing problems and sharing information and knowledge.

4. Create an organizational culture where patient safety is the top priority and there is an ongoing commitment to address patient safety issues.

5. Provide staff education and training in error-reduction strategies.

6. Systematically analyze the data collected on errors to understand the complex relationships and interactions that are often related to health care errors.

7. Redesign hospital systems and processes (the workplace and the work) to mitigate error so that it is difficult or impossible to make a mistake.
