Research confirms that patient outcomes improve when healthcare providers practice in an evidence-based manner1. Evidence-based practice (EBP) involves a problem-solving approach to clinical care that incorporates the conscientious use of current best practices from well-designed studies, a clinician's expertise, and patient values and preferences. EBP has been shown to increase patient safety, improve clinical outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and decrease variation in patient outcomes2. The importance of EBP is substantiated; however, significant barriers to widespread use of current evidence to inform decision-making remain, including the lack of access to published research findings.
