Synthesis Tables for Use at UC Davis Health

Synthesis tables are a powerful tool for organizing and communicating the existing body of evidence to stakeholders. By structuring interventions and outcomes in a way that highlights the most effective strategies for driving meaningful improvements (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2023), synthesis tables are an integral part of the EBP process. At UC Davis Health, synthesis tables have been integrated into all aspects of evidence-based decision-making. Clinicians across multiple disciplines have synthesized evidence and developed these tables to address a clinical question. These tables serve as the foundation for evidence-based recommendations as part of an EBP initiative. The Center for Nursing Science has compiled a number of synthesis tables and made them available for staff to support evidence implementation and inform clinical inquiries.

Synthesis Table Attachments in Clinical Policies

Clinical policies and procedures at UC Davis Health are grounded in the latest evidence, with references and relevant clinical skills updated during each review. To enhance the integration of evidence-based practices, synthesis tables have been included as attachments in several policies and procedures. The goal is to expand the number of policies and procedures featuring evidence-based synthesis tables to further inform clinical practice. Please view the policies and procedures with these attachments below. For more information on incorporating your EBP work into policy contact hs-pcspolicies@ucdavis.edu.
