Question

EBP Champions are those clinicians in the workplace who are armed with the best available knowledge regarding clinical practice in their specialty area. These clinicians implement and facilitate change based on the available evidence for a specific problem. They evaluate outcomes and give feedback to other clinicians and administrators. They set goals for the staff. We have talked about EBP Bundles. Some common problems that may require implementation of a bundle by the champion may include: Catheter Associated Blood Stream Infections, Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections, Skin Care, Restraint Use, etc. Think about your current or prior clinical setting. Have you known or do you know of champions? What makes them a champion? If not, should you have people in your workplace that function in the champion role? What could or should they be doing?
