Synopsis

About the Workbook:

This workbook provides a collection of easy-to-use tools and helpful tips to guide novice to expert students and clinicians to bring EBP improvements into clinical practice and organizations. This workbook is organized based on the Iowa Model Revised: Evidence-Based Practice to Promote Excellence in Health Care©. This workbook provides the tools included in the main textbook and also contains the Iowa Implementation for Sustainability Framework© to help you and your team adopt and sustain the practice change.

About the Textbook:

The biggest barrier to effective evidence-based practice (EBP) is the failure to effectively translate available knowledge, research, and clinical expertise into action This failure is rarely due to a lack of information, understanding, or experience. In fact, it usually comes down to a simple lack of tools and the absence of a clear plan to integrate EBP into care. Problem solved!

Evidence-Based Practice in Action, Second Edition, is a time-tested, application-oriented EBP resource of The Iowa Model Revised: Evidence-Based Practice to Promote Excellence in Health Care. This book offers a proven, detailed plan to help nurses and healthcare professionals promote and achieve EBP adoption and implementation.

Throughout this practical, easy-to-use manual, the authors supply strategies, tools, and tips that show healthcare leaders how to prepare, apply, and appraise any EBP process model. Inside are valuable recommendations on topic selection, literature searches, research and evidence review, implementation, and evaluation. This new edition includes:

• NEW: An evidence funnel approach that flips the traditional evidence pyramid
• NEW: Updates to the EBP Evaluation Framework (KABOB) that include actionable local data to create sustainable change
• NEW: Revised implementation strategies with clinician and patient examples
• NEW: Focus on engaging patients in the process
• NEW: Ways to de-implement practices that are not evidence-based, are ineffective, or are even harmful
