Evidence-based practice (EBP)
• Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a problem-solving approach that
incorporates the best available scientific evidence, clinicians’ expertise,
and patients’ preferences and values (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2004).
In two quality-related reports, the Institute of Medicine emphasized the
importance of EBP to best practice (Institute of Medicine, 2001) and to
the education of healthcare professionals (Greiner & Knebel, 2003).

Principles of EBP into performance appraisals and

EBP will be translated into practice.
Method for improving clinical
practice
Patient outcomes
Cost-effectiveness patient care
How to achieve these Goals
a) one-on-one mentoring for advanced practice nurses (APNs) in both acute- and primary-care settings to
initiate EBP
b) Partnering with community healthcare agencies to establish outcomes management projects
c) Mentoring APNs in writing and submitting research grants to answer clinical questions where adequate
science did not exist
d) Mentoring APNs and staff nurses in disseminating evidence at regional and national professional meetings
e) Disseminating the best and latest evidence that could help answer nurses’ clinical inquiries through a
listserve and regularly scheduled EBP rounds; and
f) Educating nurses, faculty, and administrators at all levels about the EBP process by conducting local,
regional, and national workshops, training sessions, conference keynotes, and plenary sessions
Barriers to implementing EBP
• lack of knowledge of the EBP process
• a deficiency of critical appraisal skills to evaluate research
• a lack of administrative support for EBP endeavours
MENTORING
A Advancing R Research and C Clinical practice
through close C Collaboration model was created as
a mechanism to implement and test the role of the
“EBP mentor” and to define other factors that
contribute to best practice
Strategies
• To enhance integration of research and
clinical practice in acute-care and
community healthcare settings, both
locally and nationally.
• Establishing a cadre of EBP mentors to
facilitate EBP
• Disseminating the best evidence from
well-designed studies to advance an
evidence-based approach to clinical care
• Conducting an annual EBP conference
• Conducting studies to evaluate the
effectiveness of the ARCC model on the
process and outcomes of clinical care
• Developing computer search strategies
• Time to conduct EBP activities
• Research consulting and creation of further interaction
between clinicians and research centers
• The discussion meetings of inter-professional and inter-
wards
• Identify barriers of EBP implementation and strategies
to overcome these barriers.
• Monitoring and evaluation of EBP in the organization
and providing appropriate solutions
Success can be easily hampered if the entire
healthcare team is not cohesive in basing decisions on
evidence.
• EBP champions
• Use of resources
• Role definition
• EBP mentors
• Time and money
• Creating a culture that fosters EBP
Essentials for implementing EBP in clinical settings
Practical strategies for implementing EBP
• EBP rounds
• Critically appraised topics
• Educational prescriptions
• collaboration, learning, and implementation of the
EBP process
