SummaryWorking in laboratories of clinical chemistry, we risk feeling that our personal contribution to quality is small and that statistical models and manufacturers play the major roles. It is seldom sufficiently acknowledged that personal knowledge, skills and common sense are crucial for quality assurance in the interest of patients. The employees, environment and procedures inherent to the laboratory including its interactions with the clients are crucial for the overall result of the total testing chain. As the measurement systems, reagents and procedures are gradually improved, work on the preanalytical, postanalytical and clinical phases is likely to pay the most substantial dividends in accomplishing further quality improvements. This means changing attitudes and behaviour, especially of the users of the laboratory. It requires understanding people and how to engage them in joint improvement processes. We need to use our knowledge and common sense expanded with new skills e.g. from the humanities, management, business and change sciences in order to bring this about together with the users of the laboratory.

“…With EBPM focusing on the nature and understanding of evidence, the context of evidence use, and the role of evidence in the policy process, the addition of the behavioural lens from psychology to this field of research is a promising development. This clear connection between EBPM and psychology has been signalled elsewhere (Rousseau and Gunia ), but the implications of this intersection need to be examined more substantively. The recent findings summarized below exemplify this recent shift, in that they deal with issues such as credibility perception, risk assessment, bias in interpretation, expertise and overconfidence.…”

Combining the best of two worlds: a conceptual proposal for evidence-informed school improvement

Background: Data-based decision making (DBDM) and research-informed teaching practice (RITP) are key to teacher and school improvement.Currently, however, DBDM and RITP represent two distinct approaches to developing evidence-informed practice (EIP) and do not correspond to the all-encompassing notion of EIP envisaged by many academics and commentators.Purpose: DBDM and RITP are usually employed independently of each other. Each is associated with its own theoretical perspectives and research base, and each has its own pitfalls and strengths. Yet the approaches employed appear to be complementary, suggesting that there might be value in combining DBDM and RITP into one overarching process for achieving EIP. This paper presents the conceptual analysis and arguments for this proposal. Sources of evidence:Drawing from literature and previous research in the fields of DBDM, RITP and EIP, we describe both DBDM and RITP, before comparing and contrasting the integral aspects of each.Main argument: Our analysis leads us to suggest that not only is there overlap between these two approaches, but the strengths of each appear to mirror and compensate for the weaknesses of the other. As such, we argue that it is important that decisions in education are based on a combination of personal judgement, research evidence and local school data. This is Combining the Best of Two Worlds restricted Page 3 of 39 because such a combination is likely to lead to equitable, effective and efficient decisions that are informed by values and preferences, grounded in context and steeped in practices that have been shown to be effective elsewhere. Conclusions:We suggest that an effective strategy for EIP might be to achieve 'the best of two worlds' by integrating DBDM and RITP. In line with evidence-informed practices in medicine and management, this means EIP in education can finally be engaged in as a holistic approach to educational decision-making that critically appraises different forms of evidence before key improvement decisions are made. Our proposed approach, Evidence informed School and Teacher Improvement, is thus designed with the aim of enhancing the quality of educational provision by employing these evidence types as part of a systematic cycle of inquiry, focused on continuously improving the quality of learning in schools.Keywords: data-based decision making, research-informed teaching practice, evidenceinformed practice, evidence-informed school and teacher improvement, professional learning community, knowledge mobilisation.Barends, Eric, Denise M.
