How to Promote or Implement Evidenced-Based Practice in a Clinical Setting

Jennifer S. Couvillon, PhD, RN, FNP

Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans

How does one promote or implement evidenced-based practice in a clinical setting? This question is often raised, and without a step-by-step plan, the answer is often left unanswered. Research can be theoretical, abstract, and often confusing to the registered nurse who is in the field and busy providing for patients. Imagine that at the beginning of the shift the home health care nurse is organizing the planned patient visits and at the end of the shift is hurriedly writing the plan to meet the needs identified that day. When and how does using evidence from research come into play? How can it be prioritized into the day without taking time away from the patient-nurse interaction? This article offers suggestions for the independent home health care nurse who knows the importance of implementing evidence-based practice in the clinical setting but who cannot seem to find the time.

Key Words: evidenced-based practice • home health • motivation
