  • Title: Evidence-based policy and procedures: an algorithm for success.
    Author: Oman KS, Duran C, Fink R.
    Journal: J Nurs Adm; 2008 Jan; 38(1):47-51. PubMed ID: 18157005.
    Abstract:
    Evidence-based practice is defined as the use of current best evidence by clinicians when making patient care decisions. Barriers to an evidence-based practice are well identified in the literature and significantly impact the use of research findings in practice. A key feature of a practice environment that supports and promotes the use of best evidence is requiring clinical practice policies and procedures to be evidence-based. The authors describe the structure and process developed to facilitate evidence-based policies and the outcomes of the initiative.
