  1. Implementing Evidence in Clinical Settings

  2. Develop a vision for change. Start with small steps. Select a nursing intervention, conduct an intensive literature review, and build awareness among the nursing staff. Stress the need for a change in practice.

  3. 2. Promote engagement in EBP Engage key stakeholders. Assess current attitudes toward the practice in question. Have discussions about the issue. Determine who the decision makers are. Enlist staff with expertise in EBP. Gain administrative support for EBP initiative. Assess and eliminate barriers.

  4. 3. Integrate evidence-based practice Establish formal integration teams. Build excitement. Disseminate evidence. Show link between proposed change and patient outcomes. Develop clinical tools that are available to staff and easy to use. Pilot test the change, implementing complex change in stages. Establish goals and timelines. Celebrate success.

  5. 4. Link evidence-based practice to clinical outcomes. Measure outcomes through: • outcome measures (healthcare results that can be measured such as health status, death, health behaviors, economic impact, disability) • Quality care improvement (quantify how interventions impact the quality of lives) • Patient-centered quality care (the patient is an equal partner in their own care)

  6. 4. Link evidence-based practice to clinical outcomes. Measure outcomes through: • Efficiency of processes (efficient utilization of resources) • Environmental changes (creation of a culture that promotes EBP) • Professional expertise (creates an expectation of professional competence)
