"Nurse-led innovation has the power to transform health and healthcare systems. That's because, in assessing a patient or a problem, nurses don't just consider results. They use critical thinking to define a problem, and combine objective data with on-the-ground experience and teamwork to create solutions that make sure every patient receives the best possible treatment. Because it's not just about developing a new gizmo or gadget. It's about creating new models of care, safety practices, more efficient processes - and even innovations that tackle social challenges to improve patient outcomes." (J-J, 2022)
Utilizing Evidence Base Practices is one way of intergrating the science of our nursing care. It keeps us current, up-to-date, and providing the best care to our patients for the best reasons. It aims to incorporate what has been found to be the most effective treatments, practices, and ideas. EBP improves patient outcomes and patient safety.
Nightingale had a profound effect on modern medicine, linking unsanitary conditions and poorly ventilated spaces to a patient's failing health. Her research showed evidence-based practice (EBP) as the process of collecting, processing, and implementing research findings to improve clinical practice and patient outcomes.
Becoming a Registared Nurse will require you to utilize EBP's. Explain why is evidence based practice important? And what does it mean for nursing?
