Introduction to Evidence-Based Practice
Description
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is foundational to nursing and can improve patient outcomes. It uses a process of shared decision-making that incorporates the best available evidence, clinical expertise, and patient preferences and values. Nurses and other healthcare providers at the point of care are in an ideal position to ask and answer clinically relevant questions to promote quality, safety, and best-possible outcomes.
In this interactive course, you will learn about developing a spirit of inquiry and how to identify and write clinically relevant PICOT (patient population, intervention, comparison, outcomes and timeframe) questions based on clinical scenarios. To learn more after you complete the course, visit our EBP Learning Library for additional resources and tools to help you engage in EBP.
You will enjoy access for 180 days from date of purchase, after which you will no longer be able to access the course.
