Recommended: Quizlet Evidence Based Practice Nursing

Hello professor and classmates,
What an informative 8 weeks this has been! I have acquired so much information about evidence based practice. I am ending this class with a better ability to read and review nursing research. I have learned that the research findings are reviewed by peers or external reviewers and they must be replicated. According to Houser, Evidence-based practice is important in nursing because outcomes are improved, care is more efficient and effective, and errors are reduced (2016). The most important thing I have learned from this course is that the future of nursing and healthcare is based on evidence based practice. Choices we made regarding patient care and best practice are built on research studies. The research …show more content…

“Change within any organization can be a difficult process” (CCN, 2017). Osheroff, also stated that “change in an organization is painful to many” (2012). It’s possible that I might have been a part of the barrier in the past because I sometimes find it difficult to embrace change each time a new pilot research program is initiated. I would often join with other coworkers that complained that this was going to take so long to implement and add an extra workload. But as I was enlightened on the importance of EBP in this course, I came to see the significant of adopting EBP into clinical practice. According to Osheroff (2012), change is eminent in any organization, and in order to be successful, the leader must guide and lead the organization through the process of change. From this point forward, I will embrace change in the organization with a positive attitude. I have realized that, just a little bit goes a long way. When you approach things the right way, other nurses/employees would tend to follow suit with an open mind. I am looking forward to a career in which I can fully apply EBP to my practice or even be a part of a study. It was truly a pleasure being in this class with you all. Thanks professor Graves, and best of luck to everyone in your future

In this paper, I will discuss how evidence-based practice is being utilized in the organization I work for, how nurses at the bedside are encouraged to participate in planning and implement evidence-based changes and what factors are available for nurses to use when implementing evidence-based practice. I will also discuss how nurses can suggest or help improve evidence-based practice and sustain a positive environment for EBP.

    Evidence based practice (EBP) is a key component in delivering cost-effective, high quality health care. [1] However, only around half of the care providers in the United States utilized EBPs. Additionally, nearly a quarter of services delivered to American consumers are unnecessary and potentially harmful. Today, educators are teaching and promoting evidenced based health care to future nursing professionals. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) supports this action as a means to achieve the objective that 90 percent of all medical treatments have a foundation in evidence based practices by the year 2020.
