Integrating Evidence into Practice: Enhancing Nursing Leadership and Improving Patient Outcomes
Creating and sustaining interest in evidence-based practice is central to advancing the profession and elevating the level of care provided by rehabilitation nurses. This evening of dynamic presentations will not only provide real examples of integrating evidence into policy and practice, but the importance of providing leadership to the implementation of evidence-based practice. Representatives from magnet facilities will provide illustrative examples of the creation, implementation, and sustainability of a model evidence-based practice in the clinical setting. This information can be used to implement important changes at the bedside that will ultimately improve patient care and outcomes.
