How did it all start?
2004: Grassroot
2005: We want at national Clearing House at the University
2008
0Studies from the US and the Netherlands show that 30-40% of patients do not receive treatement based on evidence.
020-25% of the treatments were unnecessary or even harmful
(Grimshaw JM, Eccles MP, MJA 2004)
Why nurses do not use research
0The volume of journal and article available are enormous
0Difficulties of accessing libraries 0Lack of skills to determine the quality and validity
of research0High quality studies are published in English0Qualification to synthesise evidence into explicit
recommendation0Have the time to do all this
Practice based on evidence
0 …practice based on evidence can decrease the uncertainty - that patients and clinicians experience in a complex health care system….
0 …Clinical guidelines are one way to improve quality of care …. As they aim to reduce inappropriate variations….
Clinical guidelines
0 …‘systematically developed statements to assist practitioner and patient decisions about appropriate health care for specific clinical circumstances’.
0 Institute of Medicine: Guidelines for Clinical Practice: 1993
How can they matter
0 By describing appropriate care based on the best available scientific evidence and broad consensus;
0 By providing a more rational basis for referral and use of resources;
0 By providing a focus for continuing education;0 By reducing inappropriate variation in practice; 0 By Acting as focus for quality control, including audit; 0 By highlighting shortcomings of existing literature
and suggest appropriate future research.

Do Clinical Guidelines have an impact on outcome of care?
0Grimshaw 1993 - concluded that guidelines do improve clinical practice
0Thomas 1998 – concluded some evidence excist that care driven by a guideline can be effective
0Grimshaw 2006 - 86.6% of studies observed some kind of improvements in care
0Hakkennes 2008 - the effects were small but in favour of the intervention group
Why establish a clearinghouse in Denmark??
0 Guidelines of varying quality0 Guidelines with limited evidence0 Guidelines are seldom published0 Guidelines with different recommendations
within the same nursing diagnosis0 Inexpedient use of resources
Definition
0 A Clearinghouse is an organization to which nurses send their own developed clinical guidelines for approval. Once approved the guideline can be used anywhere – the guideline is cleared
0 To cleare a clinical guideline means that the ”house” ensures the quality of the guideline on the basis of scientific evidence, consistence and relevance.
0 A Clearinghouse is an organization which collects and asseses the quality, registers and promotes evidence based guidelines to be used by nurses in any clinical setting
Overall purpose of the Clearinghouse
We will join efforts to strengthen evindence-based nursing practice and increase the quality of nursing to patients.
Knowledge CompetanceTime
& Money
Aims (1)
0 To assess the quality (professionally and methodologically) of clinical guidelines in nursing
0 To establish and maintain a database of approved clinical guidelines in nursing
0 To communicate knowledge of existing clinical guidelines
0 To collaborate nationally and internationally on the development of clinical guidelines
Aims (2)
0 To select areas for future research
0 To initiate and be part of research activities nationally and internationally
0 To initiate and be part of educational activities to strengthen the quality and development of clinical guidelines
Principles of the organisation
0 Owned by the Danish Nursing Society0 Membership financed0 Management rooted0 Decentralised focus and initiative0 Central focus through research and new areas for
systematic review0 Development of competences in Danish nursing0 An annual documentation conference is held
to develop competences, to achieve consensus and to be updated

Mouth rinse before heart surgery
In the literature it is clearly demonstrated that mouth rinse twice a day for two days before elective heart surgery to one day after the surgical procedure reduce the number of patients developing respiratory tract infections and postoperative pneumonia with of more than 30%. 0 Pedersen, 2012

Conclusions
0 Evidence-based clinical guidelines can: 0 Reduce the delivery of inappropriate care 0 Support the introduction of new knowledge into clinical
practice 0 Support nursing documentation and the development of
standard nursing care plans 0 Support nurses in the clinical decision process in
collaboration with the patients.
Challenges
0 .. first of all to ensure that nurses have the needed competences to develop clinical guidelines and to develop indicators that are truly sensitive for nursing care…
We should work togetherin EU…
