Integration of EBM Model of Information Literacy into Curriculum

What is EBM? The integration of: individual clinical expertise best available systematically reviewed evidence from research and relevant population data patient preferences Sackett, et al. Evidence based medicine: what it is and what it isn't.BMJ.1996Jan 13; 312 (7023):71-2.

The integration of:

individual clinical expertise

best available systematically reviewed evidence from research and relevant population data

patient preferences

Sackett, et al. Evidence based medicine: what it is and what it isn't.BMJ.1996Jan 13; 312 (7023):71-2.

EBM Steps Step 1 : FORMULATE an answerable question P - the P atient or P roblem I - the I ntervention C - the C omparative intervention O - the desired O utcome P - Adults with repetitive strain injury I - Painkillers C - Massage therapy O - Relief of pain For adult patients with repetitive strain injury, are painkillers more effective than massage therapy for pain relief?

Step 1 : FORMULATE an answerable question

P - the P atient or P roblem

I - the I ntervention

C - the C omparative intervention

O - the desired O utcome

P - Adults with repetitive strain injury

I - Painkillers

C - Massage therapy

O - Relief of pain

For adult patients with repetitive strain injury, are painkillers more effective than massage therapy for pain relief?

Step 2 : SEARCH for the best evidence Step 3 : ASSESS the validity and usefulness of the search results Critical Appraisal Tools Textbooks Individual Research Studies Critically Appraised Research Studies Summaries of the Evidence

Step 2 : SEARCH for the best evidence

Step 3 : ASSESS the validity and usefulness of the search results

Critical Appraisal Tools

Step 4 : APPLY the evidence Are the outcomes of the evidence relevant to the patient/problem? Do the results apply to my patient? Is my patient likely to benefit from this change in practice? What do the patient and the patient's family want? Step 5 : REFLECT on the application of the evidence Was the desired outcome achieved?

Step 4 : APPLY the evidence

Are the outcomes of the evidence relevant to the patient/problem?

Do the results apply to my patient?

Is my patient likely to benefit from this change in practice?

What do the patient and the patient's family want?

Step 5 : REFLECT on the application of the evidence

Was the desired outcome achieved?

ACRL Information Literacy Standards Determine the nature and extent of information needed Access needed information effectively and efficiently Evaluate information and sources critically Use information effectively to accomplish a specific purpose Use information ethically and legally

Determine the nature and extent of information needed

Access needed information effectively and efficiently

Evaluate information and sources critically

Use information effectively to accomplish a specific purpose

Use information ethically and legally

Information Literacy: The Old Model vs. The New Model The Old Model: Teaches skills to find print and electronic resources in the library Limits instruction to basic literature searching skills Fails to fully integrate instruction into curriculum Lacks a focus on the application of skills to coursework and future professional settings

The Old Model:

Teaches skills to find print and electronic resources in the library

Limits instruction to basic literature searching skills

Fails to fully integrate instruction into curriculum

Lacks a focus on the application of skills to coursework and future professional settings

Information Literacy: The Old Model vs. The New Model The New Model: Introduces information literacy campus-wide Focuses on the EBM model of information literacy and its integration into the curriculum Uses technology to promote effective instruction Focuses on problem-based instruction which can be applied to coursework and professional settings Employs standards for learning objectives, rubrics and assessments

The New Model:

Introduces information literacy campus-wide

Focuses on the EBM model of information literacy and its integration into the curriculum

Uses technology to promote effective instruction

Focuses on problem-based instruction which can be applied to coursework and professional settings

Employs standards for learning objectives, rubrics and assessments
