  Discussion

1. Identify an example issue or problem in your clinical setting that could benefit from evidence-based practice. How do you know?
2. I currently work in a perioperative setting. In this setting, a big focus is placed on surgical site infection prevention. This hypothetical discussion will focus on increased surgical site infections (SSI) in a specific specialty. We know surgical site infections are a growing problem, despite many efforts to decrease the risk. The National Healthcare Safety Network (2023, January), reports that there was a 3% increase in SSI standardized infection ratio in 2021        despite efforts to decrease this. Reportedly 75% of SSI deaths are also from site infection as well, costing $3.3 billion annually (National        Healthcare Safety Network, 2023). Hypothetically, I would collect data at my facility and compare the surgical site infection rates among the several surgery departments we service.
3. Describe the proposed data (real or hypothetical) from your clinical setting that supports your proposed issue or problem.
   1. The data (SSI rates) would tell me who has the greatest need for exploring better SSI prevention protocols. I would gather data first on each surgery service and see which service has the highest SSI rate. I would then explore current protocols and implementation of the surgical site prevention plans for that service.
4. Include at least one evidence-based article that addresses your clinical issue or problem and cite your reference in APA format. 
   1. See the reference list below
5. Describe the significance of the article to your identified issue or problem. 
   1. This article discusses the issue of SSI and costs to the healthcare system from increased mortality and length of stay for patients (National Healthcare Safety Network, 2023).
   2. This article provides the clinical practice guidelines updated from 1999 to 2017 for interventions addressing SSI (Todd, 2017).
6. Describe at least one source of data used to establish the results in the article (e.g., survey tool, blood pressure outcomes, urinary output, kidney function, etc.)
   1. The data source for each of these articles are focusing on surgical site infection rates. Both articles also discuss data emphasizing the impact that SSIs have on healthcare costs,        morbidity, and mortality.
