Evidence-Based Practice and Research at UCSD |
|
Evidence-based practice has been recognized by the healthcare community as being the gold standard for the provision of safe and compassionate healthcare. Barriers and facilitators for the adoption of evidence-based practice in nursing have been identified by researchers. Healthcare organizations have been challenged to foster an environment conducive to providing care based on evidence and not steeped in ritualized practice.
- Evidence-based practice is the use of evidence, clinical expertise, and patient preferences for providing nursing care (Sackett, D, Straus, S., Richardson, W., Rosenberg, W & Haynes, B., (2000). Evidence-Based Medicine: How to Teach EBM. Edinburgh; Churchill Livingstone).
