2012 Goals

The Journal Club, in an effort to better meet the needs of the patient care services professionals at MGH, will bring original research presentations closer to the clinical area of practice.
The Journal Club’s goal is to target areas of research and evidence based practice that is relevant to individual specialties to present specific areas of evidence based practice and research to meet the goals of the unit and practice.
The EBP Subcommittee will reach out to the clinical staff for investigatory opportunities in an attempt to increase the application of clinical inquiry through the utilization of the “The Iowa Model of Evidence-based Practice to Promote Quality Care”.
The “Did You Know…” Subcommittee will continue to invite topics on evidence based clinical practices for the development and distribution of informational posters for the MGH community.
