Many may find themselves wondering what is Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) and why is it so important? In the 21st century everyone wants one to prove why one thing is better than the other, with EBP that is what is happening. EBP allows one to have the research to back up the reason one takes care of a patient a particular way, or why one medication works better than another. In the next few weeks EBP will be discussed and hopefully at the conclusion one will understand why EBP is necessary in health care today.
Here are a couple of questions that will help us to understand what EBP is:
What exactly is EBP?
Is nursing research and EBP one and the same?
Would quality improvement be the same as EBP? If not what is the difference?
How does EBP help the practice of nursing?
