Discuss how evidence-based practice is applied in your practice setting and describe the desired patient outcome achieved through this approach.…
The health care organizations should provide nurses mandatory evidence-based practice (EBP) programs annually to develop and ensure competencies that enable staff nurses to use evidence in their practice. Moreover, nurse managers and leaders need to create a supportive environment for EBP, such as providing resources for searching for evidence. In order to have the administrative support, managers and leaders need to communicate with policymakers and set out related policies with evidence-based research to make the EBP as the daily basis of nursing care. Consequently, it should be…
A number of studies reveal that the advantages of implementing evidence-based practice by nurses and other health professional’s results in the advancement quality of care that leads to enhanced patient outcomes. Furthermore, the current use of evidence-based in the clinical setting would result in increased patient outcome since the evidence-based practice includes multidisciplinary recommendations that could facilitate all nurses in addressing questions related to the best patient care.…
The PICOT Model formulates the clinical questions. The PICOT Model has five steps, P: patient/population, I: intervention, C: current practice, O: outcome, T: time. The Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice to Promote Quality Care emphasis the importance of considering the entire healthcare system from the provider to the patient and it gives large systems an effective, team-centered approach to implement evidence-based practice in the clinical setting and is used for sweeping, system-wide changes in practice. The Iowa model has seven steps, the seven steps are identify a problem or new knowledge, prioritize the issues and form a team, team reviews, critiques and synthesizes the evidence…
The focus of this assignment is to look at Evidence Based Practice (EBP), why it is important for nursing to be evidence based and the barriers to implementation of EBP.…

Evidence based practice helps us to ensure that we are providing the best possible care to our patients. By basing our care on practices that have outcomes based on evidence just makes since. They have been tested and proven to be effective on patients. We don’t have to do trial and error to find out what works the best for our patients, the work has been done for us. This gives our patients the best care possible. Many changes have been made over the past 10 years based on evidence based practices. There are many resources available to nurses, nurse managers, administrators and others that provide research that has been completed. These resources include different kinds of studies that have been performed. They include cohort studies, case…
Even with all the advancement the nursing profession has made, there is growing evidence from a number of studies from different countries that a significant gap remains between the rhetoric of evidenced based practice (EBP) and the reality…
As the healthcare industry is making rapid advance, many health organizations are faced with new methods and procedures in regards to quality care. Evidence-based practice can be defined as decisions that are made based off of previous knowledge and research. The combination of clinical expertise and evidence gained through clinical research results in the method of evidence-based practice (Atkins, Fink & Slutsky 2005).…
It is increasingly clear that the cultural barriers are as important as the organizational and personal factors to implementing evidence EBP. Most of the research demonstrated that the working culture within organizations stresses on the need to abide by hierarchy and to keep in harmony with others (Williams, Perillo and Brown,2015). On the other hand, nurses need to feel that they have the autonomy and power to enact change in the current practice within their organization (Karin et al, 2009). For instance, several case reports documented that nurses’ opinion and thoughts were not appreciated by doctors predisposing them to have negative thoughts toward utilizing EBP (Chang, Russell and Jones 2010). In fact, health care professionals must…
Evidence-based practice (EBP) has been emphasized since the publication of the Institute of Medicine’s report “To Err Is Human”. Nurses should be able to not only provide standard care within the scope of practice but also deliver safe care based on the best EBP that is most up-to-date at that time. Furthermore, research is developed based on the current evidence-based practice. Research nurses work on new projects to conceptualize innovative ideas, generate literature research, and conduct clinical trials to develop new evidence-based practice. The reason why evidence-based practice and research are important is because health…
The use of evidence based practice in healthcare assist with providing the best and current practice and improving patient outcome (Boswell.c., & Cannob, S. 2012). According to Hopp and Rittenmeyer (2012), evidence based practice is define as the continuous and current use if the best evidence in decision making about the care of each patients. This involves the commbination of each clinical expertise, as well as considering patient choices with the best available external clinical evidence from systematic research. Evidence based practice has enhance and continue to improve the care given to patients in each healthcare, particularly within nursing. The purpose of this study is to outlined and find ways to include evidence based…

Aim. To identify approaches used by advanced practice nurses to promote evidence-based practice among clinical nurses. Background. Barriers encountered at individual and organizational levels hinder clinical nurses in their ability to deliver evidence-based practice. Advanced practice nurses are well placed to promote evidence-based practice through interactions with clinical nurses. However, little is understood about how advanced practice nurses might realize this potential. Method. A multiple instrumental case study of 23…
