  2. Purpose • Role of knowledge in health • Palliative care and nurses • About CareSearch • Why Six Steps • Overview of Six Steps • What we’ve learned

  3. Role of knowledge in health • Health as a knowledge industry • What we know from research can inform clinical decision making, policy making and service delivery • Evidence and guidance is growing. • 75 trials & 11 systematic reviews published every day Bastian et al, 2010 • How do individuals, services and systems know about, find and select what is important?

  4. About palliative care • Cure is not the goal of care • Referral based, co-morbidity, multidisciplinary • Patient and family as unit of care • Care provided in many settings • Often a family carer

  6. About CareSearch • Palliative care resource • Evidence based • Online • Funded by DoHA • Audience • Health professional • Patients, carers, families • Knowledge Translation framework • Facilitate access to, and use of, evidence in practice

  7. Why Six Steps? • Size of the website • In one place, but over 2,000 pages • Best sources being used? • Familiarity with evidence contexts? • Creating utility • Evidence in formats that clinicians can use • Structured approach to literature • Awareness of evidence tools

  8. Overview of Six Steps • Is there a Clinical Practice page? • Check the Review Collection • Check for a related PubMed search topic • Build your own PubMed Search Topic • Check the CareSearch Grey Literature • Find about “How to search” Breathlessness

  9. Step 1: Clinical Practice

  10. Step 2: Review Collection

  11. Step 3: PubMed Searches

  12. Step 4: Create your own search

  13. Step 5: Grey Literature

  14. Step 6: Learn about searching

  15. Six Steps Learning Resources • Six Steps Factsheet • Summary sheet on the approach • Over 4,000 sheets ordered • My Learning Modules 1 & 2 Jan to July use • My Learning 1: 661 • My Learning 2: 223

  16. Feedback on Six Steps • Hi thank you for these informative modules, I have always found it difficult to navigate around caresearch for some reason so now hopefully will find it more productive. • I never wanted to study this sort of stuff, but your information is very helpful and presented in a way that is informative and engaged • This form of education is valuable and inexpensive, very interesting and more so appropriate for a dynamic industry.

  17. What we’ve learned • Not enough to provide resources • Consider needs and skills of intended users • Part of a range of activities (e.g. NHN news, QUC) • Value in a structured approach • Encourages use of most appropriate resource • Promotes understanding of level of evidence • Team have a common framework • Positive feedback and usage
