Important Announcement: The New Library System and updated E-resource login process are Here!. As part of OhioLINK, Ohio's academic library consortium, the NEOMED Library is updating its 30-year-old shared systems. The new system allows researchers to "discover" print and electronic resources with a single search. Click here to start using the new system. Additionally, we have also changed the way that you all will login for off-campus access to the electronic resources provided by the NEOMED Library. All NEOMED students, faculty, clinical faculty, staff, and retirees, will click on the "Login using your NEOMED Network credentials" link on the login page. From there, you will be routed through NEOMED's network login process using the same login credentials that you use for logging into your email, Sharepoint, and other essential NEOMED networked resources. Please be patient with us as we get everything situated for your use and contact us with any questions at 330-325-6600 or e-mail library@neomed.edu for help.

Competency: Practice-Based Learning and Improvement

Goals:         

  • To investigate and evaluate patient care practices
  • To appraise and assimilate scientific evidence
  • To improve patient care practices
  • To practice asking and answering clinical questions

Rationale:          

Practice-Based Leaning and Improvement (PBLI), simply put, is how a physician improves him or herself in the practice of medicine.  PBLI is important because physicians should monitor the quality of their own work, improve their work, and keep up with developments in medicine.  The broader rationale for PBLI is based on the belief that physicians should be leaders in making change rather than reacting to changes made by others, and the belief that positive changes in one’s own practice behavior can have positive effects on large systems.  Specific examples in medical education include:  increasing preventive care, improving chronic disease management, and enhancing patient safety.

 

The approach to PBLI includes the following:

  • Thinking about practice patterns/beliefs.
  • Analyzing practice patterns/beliefs to identify learning/improvement areas.
  • Developing a learning plan for improvement.
  • Applying the learning plan to improve practice patterns.
  • Monitoring the impact of the learning plan on outcomes or behaviors.
