Abstract
This webinar introduces the first conceptual model for Evidence-Based Practice Quality Improvement (EBPQI) initiatives. The mountain model couples modern EBP and QI paradigm principles into a unified conceptual framework for all nurses with the summative goal of disseminating and sustaining EBPQI across health care and related settings.
Learning Outcomes:
After participating in this course, learners will be able to:
- Describe how the mountain model differs from other evidence-based practice (EBP) and quality improvement (QI) frameworks
- Generate a rationale statement for the need to disseminate EBPQI initiatives to shorten the research to practice gap
- Develop examples of how you might apply the mountain model in your current role as a nurse
