Healthcare websites are an abundance and at the palm of our hands. We access them from computers, tablets and phones. While many websites are resourceful and have a wealth of information not all are good. A few things to keep in mind when looking at websites include the ending i.e., .org, .edu and .gov. We also need to look at the information and who puts the information on these websites. One website and organization that we may have all heard of is the Mayo Clinic. The Mayo Clinic is plethora of resources, knowledge and evidence-based practices (EBP) with patient care at its focus.
The Mayo Clinic embodies evidence-based and knowledge. To inspire hope and contribute to health and well-being by providing the best care to every patient through integrated clinical practice, education and research (Mayo Clinic, n.d.). This is the mission statement for the Mayo Clinic. Its primary value is the needs of the patient. The values include respect, integrity, compassion, healing, teamwork, innovation, excellence and stewardship. These values are shared by many organizations like this. Research supports that EBP improves healthcare quality and safety, patient outcomes, and healthcare costs as well as empowers clinicians, leading to higher job satisfaction (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2018). EBP is embedded throughout the website. For instance, if a patient wanted to research a disease or medication the can search for it and the most current and up-to-date information is readily available.
The website offers many resources on the home screen and has an area to do specific searches about anything. When you search EBP within the website over 656 areas of information are available to look at. Another well known organization is the Institute of Medicine (ION). A subsequent IOM report (2003) called for all health professionals to be better prepared to keep patients safe, focusing on five core competencies for health professions education: patient-centered care, interprofessional collaboration, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics (Boller, 2017). Much like the IOM the Mayo Clinic is embedded in EBP. The article goes on to mention how utilizing EBP, research and education provided a better outcome for patients.
The Mayo Clinic was not new to me as I have used it in the past for school and resources. After thoroughly looking through the website it is eye opening to say the least how purposeful and the focus of EBP to provide better outcomes. This is accomplished through patient focus at its center. So, it is safe to say EBP is at the foundation of this organization as they are patient focused and use EBP to continue to provide care, research, education and cutting-edge medicine that many others within the healthcare industry use and adhere too.

Hi Heidi, indeed mental health is an area that requires consistent and correct analysis of the patients’ data. Mental issues affect millions of people in the world and medical practitioners have taken advantage of the data-driven technologies available today to help administer the correct therapies to their patients (Limb,2012).I like how you have clearly demonstrated how access to data in mental health can be used in various tasks.To expound on your post, every mentally ill person creates a hypothesis for a particular condition. Thus, doctors can use such data to create a picture of how to treat them or which treatment option is best suited for a specific situation just like you have stated, the history of a patient in mental health is very crucial during the treatment process. To determine the progress of the patients, the health care providers need up to date data, records on weather their health has improved based on specific measuring parameters (Rosenfeld et al.,2019).
Mental disorders usually are unique compared to other forms of illnesses and therefore they require specific diagnostic models. The different interventions to several mental sicknesses out there significantly rely upon the amount and type of data available to the therapists. Luckily, Contemporary society has been saved by technology in that computerized systems.
