EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE
Evidence base practice (EBP) is becoming the most practiced or adopted discipline in healthcare arenas (Roux, & Halstead, 2009). What makes EBP popular is its reliance on partnership among proven scientific evidence, clinical expertise, and individual needs of each patient. The primary goal of EBP is to provide quality care, standardize medical practices at the best unbeatable price.
Medical practitioners are held accountable for their actions or practices. The accountability and high standards are attributed to ERP and are contributing factor to quality and cost, which drives the direction of healthcare (Makadon, H.J., Bharucha, F., Gavin, M., Oliveira, J., & Wietecha, M. (2010). This level of accountability has led to a greater examination as to what healthcare approach is required or needed to be used or which approach works and those that do not work. As a result, Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) has become a guide to help nurses make efficient, effective, timely, and suitable clinical decisions in response to broad political, professional and social forces that nurses and other health professionals are confronted with daily(Scott & McSherry, 2009).
According to Melnyk and Fineout- Overholt (2005, p.51), evidence based practice is defined as a “problem solving approach to clinical practice that with a clinician’s expertise and patient preference and valves in making decisions about care”. Evidence Based Practice is becoming a goal of all healthcare institutions and provides an expectation to the professional nurse who is expected to use current evidence when caring for patient. Evidence based practice is based on research findings that have been accepted by nurse practitioners and peer reviewed to guide clinical decision making about patient care. Excellent patient care is based on research evidence and can be used to create clinical
