Faced with tightening resources, more patients with more complex complaints, and systemic issues that riddle health programs, nurses are increasingly turning to evidence-based practice (EBP), in which they gather, assess and apply data to be more efficient while maintaining or improving the quality of patient care. This collection of ten articles/chapters gives practitioners and students the basics in EBP, including the reasons for EBP, the framework of theory and practice necessary to conduct it (such as conducting needs assessments, mobilizing stakeholders, application to care, and evaluation), the training necessary, linking structures to build EBP, translating research into practice, managing data and maintaining safety, and creating excellence.
