2. 1. Improving healthcare information systems : A key to evidence based medicine

   Author : Hanife Rexhepi; Rose-Mharie Åhlfeldt; Anne Persson; Karin Hedström; Högskolan i Skövde; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Process orientation; Knowledge management; Healthcare; Evidence based medicine; Information Systems; Informationssystem IS ;

   Abstract : Delivering good quality care is a complex endeavor that is highly dependent on patient information and medical knowledge. When decisions about the care of a patient are made, they must, as far as possible, be based on research-derived evidence rather than on clinical skills and experience alone. READ MORE

4. 2. Supporting evidence-based design using lighting simulations : A framework for lighting simulation of visual comfort in building design

   Author : Anahita Davoodi; Myriam Aries; Peter Johansson; Thorbjörn Laike; John Mardaljevic; Jönköping University; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Lighting quality; visual comfort; lighting simulation; evidence-based design; field study; post-occupancy evaluation; Ljuskvalitet; visuell komfort; ljussimulering; evidensbaserad design; fältstudie; brukarutvärderingar;

   Abstract : This research aims to integrate lighting simulation into the evidence-based design process for achieving improved lighting outcomes in built environments with a particular emphasis on visual comfort analysis in office settings. The objectives of the study include 1) understanding the current usage of lighting simulation tools, learning designers’ experiences' and needs, 2) providing a conceptual framework to integrate the use of lighting simulation in the evidence-based design (EBD) process, 3) testing the usage of the conceptual framework (named EBD-SIM) through two field studies.

   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Evidence-Based Practice; Clinical Practice Guidelines; Implementation; Healthcare professionals; Nurse managers; Systematic Review; Questionnaire; Test-retest; Interview; Content Analysis;

   Abstract : Within the evidence-based movement means are developed to support the practitioner in becoming a research consumer with knowledge and skills to create an evidence-based practice (EBP). But little is actually known about whether, and how, this evidence-based accumulation of knowledge is used by practitioners and in what way any actual use leads to improved outcomes. READ MORE

6. 4. Philosophical controversies in the evaluation of medical treatments : With a focus on the evidential roles of randomization and mechanisms in Evidence-Based Medicine

   Abstract : This thesis examines philosophical controversies surrounding the evaluation of medical treatments, with a focus on the evidential roles of randomised trials and mechanisms in Evidence-Based Medicine. Current 'best practice' usually involves excluding non-randomised trial evidence from systematic reviews in cases where randomised trials are available for inclusion in the reviews. READ MORE

7. 5. Orthodontic anchorage : evidence-based evaluation of anchorage capacity and patients' perceptions

   Author : Ingalill Feldmann; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Orthodontic anchorage is the ability to resist unwanted reciprocalforces and reinforcement of anchorage by supplementary appliances,in or outside the mouth, is often needed to obtain successful results.In the last 10 years, interest in appliances that use implants has beengrowing.
