“In our fast-paced healthcare environment, implementing evidence into practice is even more critical to improve outcomes. As leaders, we need to embrace evidence-based practice and are responsible for building the culture of inquiry that will move healthcare forward. This book covers the practical, step-by-step guidelines to implement such a culture. Melnyk, Gallagher-Ford, and Fineout-Overholt do an excellent job of providing the competencies necessary to implement and sustain an evidencebased practice culture.”

“A practical, much-needed guide for nurses and leaders in clinical settings to understand, apply, and sustain evidence-based practices that promote quality and safety and patient engagement. This resource embraces the complexity of today’s healthcare systems and skillfully provides busy clinicians with important steps in the EBP process, related competencies, strategies to promote the competencies, and assessment indicators. Real-world examples—along with content for shared governance, policy and procedure committees, and educators—make the steps meaningful and manageable.”
