Dear
all,
I am developing a
tool for performing observations to gain deeper understanding WHY diverse groups
of physicians (do not) show EBM behaviour in routine hospital practice.
(This will be linked to a questionnaire; resulting in a mixed method
approach).
Has anybody
performed observations of EBM-behaviour in routine clinical practice?
How did you make the
elements of EBM-behaviour, and the context in which it is
performed, operational during your field work?
Do you have any
suggestions how to find an equilibrium between focus and generality, to keep it
both practical and valid? For example, EBM implies more than adhering to a
guideline (too much focus), but observing the 'full-blown' practice without any
restrictions could be too complex (too much generality).
Thank you for
responding.
Kind regards,
