Evidence-Based Practice in Action

The biggest barrier to effective evidence-based practice (EBP) is the  failure to effectively translate available knowledge, research, and  clinical expertise into action This failure is rarely due to a lack of  information, understanding, or experience. In fact, it usually comes  down to a simple lack of tools and the absence of a clear plan to  integrate EBP into care. Problem solved!

Evidence-Based  Practice in Action, Second Edition, is a time-tested,  application-oriented EBP resource of The Iowa Model Revised:  Evidence-Based Practice to Promote Excellence in Health Care. This book  offers a proven, detailed plan to help nurses and healthcare  professionals promote and achieve EBP adoption and implementation.

Throughout  this practical, easy-to-use manual, the authors supply strategies,  tools, and tips that show healthcare leaders how to prepare, apply, and  appraise any EBP process model. Inside are valuable recommendations on  topic selection, literature searches, research and evidence review,  implementation, and evaluation. This new edition includes:
