that incorporates the best available evidence from reliable sources with the manager's experience
and expertise, in order to make informed decisions that improve the performance and outcomes
of public health institutions. Evidence-based management (EBM) is an approach that utilizes the

little is known about the current state of evidence-based management practices among managers
of public health institutions and the factors that influence their adoption.
Evidence-based management (EBM) is an approach that emphasizes the use of data, research
evidence, and expert opinion in decision making to improve organizational performance. EBM
practices are increasingly being adopted in healthcare institutions to enhance service quality and
safety, promote effectiveness, and reduce costs. In public health institutions, evidence-based
influencing the implementation of EBM practices, and the impact of EBM on organizational
performance in public health institutions. This study seeks to fill this gap by examining the status
of EBM practices and associated factors among managers of public health institutions.
Introduction: Public health institutions play a critical role in promoting and maintaining the
health of the population. Effective management practices are critical for ensuring that these
institutions operate efficiently, within budget, and provide high-quality services. Evidence-based
based information and data to inform organizational decisions. However, despite the growing
emphasis on EBM, many public health institutions continue to face significant challenges in
implementing it effectively. This study aims to investigate the factors associated with EBM
Conclusion: Implementing EBM practices is critical for ensuring that public health institutions
operate efficiently, effectively, and provide quality services. Therefore, understanding the factors
influencing EBM practice among managers of these institutions is essential. The findings of this
study will provide insights into the level of EBM practices, the factors influencing EBM practice,
There has been an intense attempt to develop new models for organization and management,
especially in the last decade (1-6). One of these models is evidence-based management (EBMgt)
for different organizations. The EBMgt was an evolution in the practice of management and
organizations that was coined from the “Evidence-Based Medicine (EBMed)” by Sackett in the
1990s (1,3,7-11). According to several founders of this movement, “evidence-based medicine is
the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about
the care of individual patients” (5,7). Now, its principles are developing across disciplines such
as education, criminology, disaster management, health policy, economics and public policy
(5,12). In management and healthcare organizations, however, EBMgt is still in its infancy and a
healthcare organizations (16-20). The use of an evidence-based approach has been proposed to
get better practice of health care management by progressing in the quality of managerial
decisions (8,21-23). The EBMgt seeks to have managers who make judgments based on facts
and information by analyzing facts appropriately to make these judgments to a greater degree
(4,11,24). Healthcare managers should learn to search and critically appraise evidence from
The current doctoral research might contribute to understanding the factors and benefits of
services American hospitals provide to their communities. The study may also help to bridge the
gap of knowledge that exists in the literature concerning integrating EBMgt and EBM. The
findings of this research inquiry are expected to provide insights to better understand the
influence of evidence-based informed decisions on the quality of care and hospital performance
as perceived by healthcare executives. It may also contribute to the overall national effort to
improve quality and reduce healthcare costs in the U.S. healthcare system
