The biggest barrier to effective evidence-based practice (EBP) is the
failure to effectively translate available knowledge, research, and
clinical expertise into action This failure is rarely due to a lack of
information, understanding, or experience. In fact, it usually comes
down to a simple lack of tools and the absence of a clear plan to
integrate EBP into care. Problem solved!
Evidence-Based Practice in Action, Second Edition, is a time-tested,
application-oriented EBP resource of The Iowa Model Revised:
Evidence-Based Practice to Promote Excellence in Health Care. This book
offers a proven, detailed plan to help nurses and healthcare
professionals promote and achieve EBP adoption and implementation.
Throughout this practical, easy-to-use manual, the authors supply
strategies, tools, and tips that show healthcare leaders how to prepare,
apply, and appraise any EBP process model. Inside are valuable
recommendations on topic selection, literature searches, research and
evidence review, implementation, and evaluation. This new edition

pyramid
