Evidence Based Practice

Apply the Evidence

 Integrate best evidence with nurse’s own clinical experience and patient preferences.

 Begin implementation of new practice based on evidence.

Establish monitoring processes to make sure change is replicated as intended (is it being done correctly?)

 Collect the data -  Accept, reject, or modify the change for clinical practice.

 If change is beneficial, work with management to modify facility’s policies and procedures to reflect the new practice.

 Change then becomes part of nursing routine
