This is not an exhaustive list but represents those competencies common among a variety of health professionals and those most important to advancing healthcare. These competencies included providing patient-centered care, working in interdisciplinary teams, applying quality improvement, utilizing informatics, and employing evidence-based practice (IOM, 2003). As a core competency, evidence-based practice (EBP) represents a significant skill for nurses and other healthcare providers who have considerable influence on healthcare decisions and improving the quality and safety of care. EBP allows clinicians and interprofessional teams to keep up with the rapidly changing environment.
