Utilizing Evidence-Based Practice And It To Enhance Safety

Course overview

According to MeSH (2009), Evidence-Based Practice is defined as "a way of providing health care that is guided by a thoughtful integration of the best available scientific knowledge with clinical expertise. This approach allows the practitioner to critically assess research data, clinical guidelines, and other information resources in order to correctly identify the clinical problem, apply the most high-quality intervention, and re-evaluate the outcome for future improvement."
