integration of best research evidence with clinical expertise
and patient values' which when applied by practitioners will
ultimately lead to improved patient outcome.
Benefits of EBP to Nurses and Patient
The inclusion of EBP in nursing provides nurses
with the scientific research to make well-founded
decisions.

1.Stays up to date with medical protocol


2.Improves the decision-making process
3.Increases patient recovery
4.Understands risk of treatments
5.Gives patients a role in planning their care

What can a quality improvement learn from evidence-based
practice

The integration of quality improvement (QI), evidence-based practice (EBP),


into the healthcare setting can improve patient outcomes, increase quality, and
reduce the cost of care.

The comparison of quality improvement with evidence based medicine may


provide insights to inform the future progress of the quality improvement
movement.
Quality improvement

An organized method for assessing the effectiveness of


systems and processes and identifying areas that require
improvement on both functional and operational level is
known as quality improvement.
Evidence based practice
To highlight and advance clinical effectiveness and evidence-based practice
(EBP) agendas, the Institute of Medicine set a goal that by 2020, 90% of
clinical decisions will be supported by accurate, timely and up-to-date clinical
information and will reflect the best available evidence to achieve the best
patient outcomes.

• To improve practice
• Seeks to positively impact practice
• Increase the effectiveness of treatment
Barriers to implementing EBP

The main barriers to EBP are organizational


issues regarding costs, changes in work, time
