To Prepare:
Read the articles by Sikka, Morath, & Leape (2015); Crabtree, Brennan, Davis, & Coyle (2016); and Kim et al. (2016) provided in the Resources.
Reflect on how EBP might impact (or not impact) the Quadruple Aim in healthcare.
Consider the impact that EBP may have on factors impacting these quadruple aim elements, such as preventable medical errors or healthcare delivery.
To Complete:
Write a brief analysis (no longer than 2 pages) of the connection between EBP and the Quadruple Aim.
Your analysis should address how EBP might (or might not) help reach the Quadruple Aim, including each of the four measures of:
Patient experience
Population health
Costs
Work life of healthcare providers

Your first course assignment addresses the Triple Aim which focuses on healthcare quality improvement in three specific areas: (a) population health, (b) enhanced patient experience, and (c) lower healthcare costs. In adding a fourth aim, the Quadruple Aim now recognizes the importance of work- life balance for healthcare providers (Sikka et al., 2015).
I look forward to your reflections on how evidence- based practice (EBP) intersects with the Quadruple Aim in healthcare!
Note: Be sure to integrate course resources (you can integrate other peer- reviewed resources too!) as you write your analysis of the connection between EBP and the Quadruple Aim.
