Hi Sh…., interesting you focused on the directives from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). During this global pandemic I have been following their guidelines because in a health care organization, it is important that the organization’s mission, philosophies, and ethics are followed through properly. With the (CDC) it is no different. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s “mission is to protect people’s health and to support the quality of life in humans by prevention and control of diseases, injuries, and disabilities” (About CDC, 2010, page or paragraph number with quotes). With the organization’s mission, philosophies, and ethics it is important that everyone’s health is protected, and proper prevention of diseases, illnesses, and disabilities are given to the public in a timely manner.
I have so much faith in the (CDC) that this morning listening to the radio driving from work, I heard someone on the radio saying that keeping the mask on for a long time will poison the body with the CO2 that we are breathing out because CO2 gets trapped in the mask and we rebreathe it into our lungs. If it is true, why is the (CDC) not telling the public that? What do you think?

Where in the World Is Evidence-Based Practice?
March 21, 2010, was not EBP’s date of birth, but it may be the date the approach “grew up” and left home to take on the world.
When the Affordable Care Act was passed, it came with a requirement of empirical evidence. Research on EBP increased significantly. Application of EBP spread to allied health professions, education, healthcare technology, and more. Health organizations began to adopt and promote EBP.
In this Discussion, you will consider this adoption. You will examine healthcare organization websites and analyze to what extent these organizations use EBP.
To Prepare:
- Review the Resources and reflect on the definition and goal of EBP.
- Choose a professional healthcare organization’s website (e.g., a reimbursing body, an accredited body, or a national initiative).
- Explore the website to determine where and to what extent EBP is evident.
By Day 3 of Week 1
Post a description of the healthcare organization website you reviewed. Describe where, if at all, EBP appears (e.g., the mission, vision, philosophy, and/or goals of the healthcare organization, or in other locations on the website). Then, explain whether this healthcare organization’s work is grounded in EBP and why or why not. Finally, explain whether the information you discovered on the healthcare organization’s website has changed your perception of the healthcare organization. Be specific and provide examples.
By Day 6 of Week 1
Respond to at least two of your colleagues on two different days by visiting the websites they shared and offering additional examples of EBP or alternative views/interpretations to those shared in your colleagues’ posts.

Where in the World is Evidence-Based Practice?
Evidence Based Practice (EBP) is a problem-solving approach to clinical practice that integrates research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient preference to provide individualized patient care. Including EBP in nursing care provides nurses with the scientific research needed to make informed decisions that can improve their patient’s recovery outcomes (EIU, 2018).
Healthcare organizations can benefit from ensuring that EBP applications are implemented. EBP can help ensure better patient outcomes, decrease the need for healthcare resources and reduce expenses (EIU, 2018). The World Healthcare Organization (WHO) is a healthcare organization whose work is grounded in evidence-based practice. They manage and maintain a wide range of data related to global health and bring the world’s scientist together to accelerate research. They promote best practice and standards for emergency operations and public response to public health emergencies. They work for the greater good of all people, globally. The WHO’s commitment to healthcare excellence and scientific evidence is continually improving and advancing to reflect the changes in the world. The WHO uses diversity, professionalism, trust, and integrity to achieve the highest level of public health on a global scale (DNA, 2020). EBP is shown throughout the mission and vision of the World Health Organization, as they are focused on their commitment to excellence in health which is guided by evidence and technical expertise (WHO values charter, 2020).
Reading and learning more about The WHO has changed my perspective on the organization. I never realized how big their commitment is to global health. An example of such commitment is their Thirteenth General Program of Work (GPW 13). It is their 5-year strategy, 2019-2023 that focuses on their triple billion targets to show measurable impacts to people health at the country level. The triple billion targets include one billion more people having universal health coverage, one billion more people are protected from health emergencies, and one billion more people have better health and well-being. Measurable impact to global health is at the heart of the WHO’s mission to change and improve the future of public health (World health organization, 2021).
