Evidence-Based Practice Teams

As an entirely clinically-led organization, order sets and guidelines are developed by clinicians for clinicians.

The work of SLC is accomplished through Evidence-based Practice Teams (EPTs). EPTs exist in the following medical and surgical specialty areas:

  • Anesthesia
  • Behavioral Medicine
  • Cardiovascular
  • Critical Care
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Infectious Disease
  • Medicine
  • Neurosciences
  • Obstetrics
  • Pediatrics
  • Primary Care
  • Radiology
  • Surgery

To date, the EPTs have developed and deployed more than 500 system-wide physician order sets, patient care guidelines, and physician education modules.

EPTs choose initiatives based on national quality recommendations and the most up-to-date, quality research. Subgroups of clinicians develop these ideas into projects, which are disseminated to SLC physicians and APRN members for comment and feedback. Individuals are selected for feedback based on their clinical areas of practice that intersect the project. SLC collects data on the effects of the projects and presents back to the EPTs for further project refinement.

We rely on these teams to support major clinical changes within SLHS. If you want to participate in the process of making things better for patients and for your peers, SLC is the best way to get involved and make a difference.
