Evidence-Based Practice and the Quadruple Aim

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:

• Population health
• Costs 
• Work life of healthcare providers
