Literature Review: Evidence-Based Management Practice and Associated Factors among

Managers of Public Health Institutions

Introduction:
Evidence-based management practice (EBMP) is an approach to healthcare management
that integrates the best available evidence with clinical expertise and patient preferences to
inform decision-making. While EBMP has been widely adopted in clinical practice, its
application in healthcare management remains limited. This literature review aims to
examine the available literature on EBMP and its associated factors among managers of
public health institutions.

Evidence-Based Management Practice:

EBMP is defined as the integration of the best available evidence from research and other
sources with clinical expertise and patient preferences to inform decision-making in
healthcare management. The use of EBMP has been shown to improve the quality of
healthcare services, increase efficiency, and reduce costs. However, the adoption of EBMP
in healthcare management remains limited. Factors such as lack of knowledge, resources,
and organizational support have been identified as barriers to the adoption of EBMP.

Factors Associated with EBMP:

Several factors have been identified as associated with EBMP among managers of public
health institutions. Knowledge and training have been shown to be important factors in the
adoption of EBMP. Managers who have received training in EBMP are more likely to adopt
evidence-based practices. Additionally, organizational support and resources have been
identified as important factors in the adoption of EBMP. Managers who have access to
resources such as research databases and clinical guidelines are more likely to adopt
evidence-based practices.

Barriers to the Adoption of EBMP:

Several barriers to the adoption of EBMP have been identified in the literature. Lack of
knowledge and training have been identified as major barriers to the adoption of EBMP.
Managers who lack knowledge of EBMP are less likely to adopt evidence-based practices.
Additionally, lack of organizational support and resources have been identified as major
barriers to the adoption of EBMP. Managers who lack access to resources such as research
databases and clinical guidelines are less likely to adopt evidence-based practices. Other
barriers to the adoption of EBMP include lack of time, competing priorities, and resistance

Literature Review: Evidence-Based Management Practice and Associated Factors among
Managers of Public Health Institutions

Introduction:

Evidence-based management practice (EBMP) is an approach to healthcare management

that integrates the best available evidence with clinical expertise and patient preferences to
inform decision-making. While EBMP has been widely adopted in clinical practice, its
application in healthcare management remains limited. This literature review aims to
examine the existing literature on EBMP and associated factors among managers of public
health institutions.

Evidence-Based Management Practice:

EBMP is an approach to healthcare management that emphasizes the use of evidence to

inform decision-making. This approach involves critically appraising the available
evidence, integrating it with clinical expertise and patient preferences, and using it to guide
decision-making. EBMP has been shown to be effective in improving healthcare outcomes,
reducing costs, and enhancing patient satisfaction.
EBMP has been widely adopted in clinical practice, but its application in healthcare
management remains limited. A study by Rycroft-Malone et al. (2012) found that
healthcare managers often face challenges in accessing and interpreting evidence, as well
as in integrating it with other sources of knowledge. This highlights the need for
interventions to promote the adoption of EBMP among healthcare managers.

Factors Associated with EBMP:

Several factors have been identified as being associated with the adoption of EBMP among
healthcare managers. A study by Grol et al. (2007) found that the availability of evidence,
the relevance of evidence to the local context, and the organizational culture were all
important factors in the adoption of EBMP. Another study by Dobbins et al. (2009) found
that the leadership style of healthcare managers, as well as their perceived self-efficacy in
using evidence, were also important factors in the adoption of EBMP.

Barriers to the Adoption of EBMP:

Despite the potential benefits of EBMP, several barriers to its adoption have been
identified. A study by Rycroft-Malone et al. (2012) found that healthcare managers often
face challenges in accessing and interpreting evidence, as well as in integrating it with
other sources of knowledge. Another study by Dobbins et al. (2009) found that a lack of
time and resources, as well as a lack of organizational support, were also barriers to the
adoption of EBMP.

Conclusion:

EBMP is an approach to healthcare management that has the potential to improve

healthcare outcomes, reduce costs, and enhance patient satisfaction. While EBMP has been
widely adopted in clinical practice, its application in healthcare management remains
limited. Factors associated with the adoption of EBMP include the availability and
relevance of evidence, the organizational culture, the leadership style of healthcare
managers, and their perceived self-efficacy in using evidence. Barriers to the adoption of
EBMP include challenges in accessing and interpreting evidence, a lack of time and
resources, and a lack of organizational support. This literature review highlights the need
for interventions to promote the adoption of EBMP among healthcare managers in public
health institutions.

Introduction:
Public health institutions play a critical role in promoting and maintaining the health
of the population. Effective management practices are critical for ensuring that
these institutions operate efficiently, within budget, and provide high-quality
services. Evidence-based management (EBM) is an approach to decision-making
that emphasizes the use of research-based information and data to inform
organizational decisions. However, despite the growing emphasis on EBM, many
public health institutions continue to face significant challenges in implementing it
effectively. This study aims to investigate the factors associated with EBM practice
among managers of public health institutions.

Objectives:
The study will aim to achieve the following objectives:

1. To determine the level of EBM practices among managers of public health

institutions
2. To identify the factors influencing EBM practice in public health institutions
3. To examine the relationship between EBM practices and organizational
performance in public health institutions

Methodology:
This study will adopt a descriptive cross-sectional research design. The target
population will be all managers of public health institutions in a selected region. A
stratified random sampling technique will be used to select a representative sample
from each stratum. Data will be collected using a self-administered questionnaire.
The questionnaire will be divided into three sections: the first section will capture
socio-demographic information about the respondents; the second section will
assess the level of EBM practices among managers, while the final section will
explore the factors influencing EBM practice in public health institutions.

Data analysis:
Data will be analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics
will be used to summarize the data, while inferential statistics will be used to
determine the relationship between EBM practices and organizational performance.
The study will employ regression analysis to establish the relationship between EBM
practices and organizational performance.
Expected outcomes:
The study is expected to provide insights into the level of EBM practices among
managers of public health institutions and the factors influencing EBM practice.
Additionally, the study will establish the relationship between EBM practices and
organizational performance. The findings of this study will be instrumental in guiding
public health institutions in implementing evidence-based management practices
that are critical in improving organizational performance.

Conclusion:
Implementing EBM practices is critical for ensuring that public health institutions
operate efficiently, effectively, and provide quality services. Therefore, understanding
the factors influencing EBM practice among managers of these institutions is
essential. The findings of this study will provide insights into the level of EBM practices,
the factors influencing EBM practice, and the relationship between EBM practices and
organizational performance

Evidence-based management (EBMgt) is a process of decision-making that

incorporates the best available evidence from reliable sources with the manager's
experience and expertise, in order to make informed decisions that improve the
performance and outcomes of public health institutions. Associated factors among
managers of public health institutions include:

1. Education and Training: Managers who have undergone formal education and
training in EBMgt are more likely to apply it in their decision-making process.

2. Access to Information: Availability of accurate and relevant information and data

plays a crucial role in facilitating informed decision-making.

3. Organizational Culture: An organizational culture that values evidence-based

practices, encourages experimentation, and rewards success can create a
conducive environment for EBMgt.

4. Leadership Support: Managers who receive support from their leadership and are
given autonomy to implement EBMgt practices are more likely to utilize them
effectively.

5. Resource Availability: Adequate resources such as time, funding, and technology

are necessary for managers to successfully apply EBMgt principles.

6. Collaboration: Managers who engage in collaborative decision-making with

stakeholders such as employees, patients, and other stakeholders tend to
incorporate evidence-based practices in their decision-making processes.

7. Resistance to Change: Resistance to change is a barrier to EBMgt adoption.

Managers may resist EBMgt if they feel it threatens their authority or if they are
concerned about the time and effort required to adopt new practices.

In conclusion, implementing EBMgt requires a multifaceted approach that considers

factors such as education and training, access to information, organizational culture,
leadership support, resource availability, collaboration, and resistance to change. By
overcoming these associated factors, managers of public health institutions can
improve the quality of care and outcomes for patients and the overall effectiveness
of the institution.

The justification for conducting research on evidence-based management practices

and associated factors among managers of public health institutions is based on
several reasons:

1. Improved patient outcomes: Evidence-based management practices can lead to

improved patient outcomes in the healthcare sector. By using data and evidence to
make decisions, managers can identify best practices and improve patient care.

2. Resource allocation: Public health institutions have limited resources, including

funding, personnel, and equipment. Evidence-based management practices can
help managers allocate these resources more efficiently by identifying areas that
need improvement and areas where resources can be redirected.

3. Management decision making: Managers in public health institutions make critical

decisions that affect patient care, staff morale, and overall performance of the
system. Evidence-based management practices can help managers make
informed decisions based on facts rather than assumptions or personal preferences.

4. Innovation and advancement: Evidence-based management practices can

promote innovation and advancement in the healthcare sector. By encouraging
managers to use data and evidence to identify best practices, new ideas and
approaches can be discovered that improve patient outcomes and system
efficiency.

5. Continuous quality improvement: Evidence-based management practices can

facilitate continuous quality improvement in the healthcare sector. By constantly
seeking out and implementing best practices, managers can ensure that the
institution is providing the highest quality of care possible.

In summary, researching evidence-based management practices and associated

factors among managers of public health institutions is essential to improving
patient outcomes, allocating resources, promoting innovation and advancement,
facilitating continuous quality improvement, and making informed decisions.

There are several justifications and significance of conducting research on

evidence-based management practices and associated factors among managers
of public health institutions.

Firstly, evidence-based management practices have been proven to contribute to

the effectiveness and efficiency of public health institutions. These practices are
based on rigorous scientific research and use objective data as a basis for decision-
making. Therefore, it's important to understand the factors that facilitate or hinder
the adoption of these practices by managers in public health institutions.

Secondly, research on evidence-based management practices can provide insights

into the challenges faced by managers in implementing these practices in public
health institutions. This information can be used to develop strategies and
interventions that support managers in adopting evidence-based management
practices.
Thirdly, evidence-based management practices can improve the quality of health
care services provided by public health institutions, which ultimately benefits
patients and the public. By identifying the factors that influence the adoption of
these practices, it becomes possible to design effective policies and programs that
promote the use of evidence-based management practices.

Lastly, research on evidence-based management practices can contribute to the

broader field of management and organizational theory by providing insights into
how evidence-based practices can be implemented in different contexts. This
knowledge is transferable to other fields beyond public health institutions and can
help to improve management practices in a wide range of organizations

The problem statement for conducting research on evidence-based management

practices and associated factors among managers of public health institutions is to
identify and examine the current trends and effectiveness of evidence-based
management practices in public health institutions. This research aims to investigate
the extent to which managers in public health institutions use evidence-based
practices, the factors that contribute to their adoption or lack thereof, and the
impact of evidence-based management practices on the overall performance and
outcomes of public health institutions. The study will also explore the challenges
faced by managers in the implementation of evidence-based management
practices and identify strategies that can improve the uptake and effectiveness of
these practices. This information will be useful in guiding decision-making, policy
formulation and implementation, and ultimately improving the quality of healthcare
services provided by public health institutions.

Literature Review: Evidence-Based Management Practices and Associated Factors among

Managers of Public Health Institutions

Introduction: Evidence-based management (EBM) is an approach that involves the use of

the best available evidence to inform decision-making and management practices. In the
context of public health institutions, the implementation of evidence-based management
practices can improve the quality of healthcare services and enhance organizational
effectiveness. This literature review aims to identify evidence-based management practices
and associated factors among managers of public health institutions.

Evidence-Based Management Practices: Several evidence-based management practices

have been identified in the literature. These include:
1. Use of data: Managers of public health institutions should use data to inform decision-
making and management practices. This includes the use of performance metrics, patient
outcome data, and financial data to monitor organizational performance and identify areas
for improvement.

2. Continuous quality improvement: Managers of public health institutions should

implement continuous quality improvement (CQI) processes to improve the quality of
healthcare services. CQI involves the use of data to identify areas for improvement, the
development of interventions to address these areas, and the evaluation of the
effectiveness of these interventions.

3. Evidence-based clinical practice: Managers of public health institutions should promote

evidence-based clinical practice among healthcare providers. This involves the use of the
best available evidence to inform clinical decision-making and the implementation of
clinical practice guidelines based on this evidence.

4. Leadership and management development: Managers of public health institutions should

invest in leadership and management development programs to improve the skills and
knowledge of managers and promote a culture of evidence-based management.

Associated Factors: Several factors have been identified in the literature that influence the
adoption of evidence-based management practices among managers of public health
institutions. These include:

1. Organizational culture: The culture of an organization can either facilitate or hinder the
adoption of evidence-based management practices. A culture that values continuous
learning and improvement is more likely to promote the adoption of evidence-based
management practices.

2. Resources: The availability of resources, including financial resources, data systems, and
human resources, can influence the adoption of evidence-based management practices.
Managers of public health institutions with limited resources may face challenges in
implementing evidence-based management practices.

3. Leadership support: The support of senior leadership is critical for the adoption of
evidence-based management practices. Managers of public health institutions who receive
support from senior leadership are more likely to implement evidence-based management
practices.

4. External factors: External factors, such as regulatory requirements, accreditation

standards, and funding requirements, can influence the adoption of evidence-based
management practices among managers of
