To maximize patient outcomes, the latest research and practice updates must be disseminated across the patient care continuum to include all members of the nursing team. The Clinical Research Council (CRC) recognized the need to bridge the gap between nursing research and practice, using evidence to decrease variation in practice. To meet this challenge, a Magnet-designated, rural community hospital developed an innovative educational program. This article describes Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) day, an interactive learning environment that engages nursing staff and strengthens their understanding of the science that guides practice. Topics for inclusion were selected based on staff requests, current research, quality improvement data, and institutional priorities. Evidence was provided in a format that supported rapid implementation into practice. Key components of the program included a clinical scenario, internal and external data, nursing interventions, patient outcomes (nursing-sensitive and organizational), and regulatory requirement updates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
