Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 23   EBP 3308 short lesson, about 20 seconds

The So-What Factor

Captions available

The idea

Significance includes a so-what factor — an outcome the healthcare system attends to, such as cost, length of stay, or preventable complications and errors.

In practice

A project whose outcome a funder's board would recognise as mattering.

Where people slip

This is the same test Unit 22 applied to choosing outcomes. A project without a so-what outcome is hard to fund and hard to sustain.
