Abstract

This item record pertains to an excerpt from Evidence-Based Practice in Action, which is provided free of charge by the publisher.

About this book: One of the biggest challenges of evidence-based practice (EBP) is translating knowledge, research, and clinical expertise into action. Failure to execute EBP well is rarely due to lack of information, understanding, or experience; rather, it comes down to lack of tools and practicality for implementing EBP into care.

Evidence-Based Practice in Action is a unique, application-oriented EBP resource of The Iowa Model Revised: Evidence-Based Practice to Promote Excellence in Health Care. The book offers offers a detailed plan to guide nurses and healthcare leaders in promoting EBP adoption and implementation.

The book is a practical, easy-to-use that directs healthcare leaders through preparing, implementing, and evaluating any EBP process model and provides tools for topic selection, literature searches, research and evidence review, implementation, and evaluation. The authors provide comprehensive building blocks along with strategies, tools, and tips to guide individual and teams who make the important day-t-day decisions that ultimately affect patient outcomes.
