Book Synopsis

About the Workbook:

This workbook provides a collection of easy-to-use tools and helpful tips to guide novice to expert students and clinicians to bring EBP improvements into clinical practice and organizations.

This workbook provides the tools included in the main textbook and also contains the Iowa Implementation for Sustainability Framework(c) to help you and your team adopt and sustain the practice change.

About the Textbook:

The biggest barrier to effective evidence-based practice (EBP) is the failure to effectively translate available knowledge, research, and clinical expertise into action This failure is rarely due to a lack of information, understanding, or experience. In fact, it usually comes down to a simple lack of tools and the absence of a clear plan to integrate EBP into care. Problem solved!

Evidence-Based Practice in Action, Second Edition, is a time-tested, application-oriented EBP resource of The Iowa Model Revised: Evidence-Based Practice to Promote Excellence in Health Care. This book offers a proven, detailed plan to help nurses and healthcare professionals promote and achieve EBP adoption and implementation.

Throughout this practical, easy-to-use manual, the authors supply strategies, tools, and tips that show healthcare leaders how to prepare, apply, and appraise any EBP process model. Inside are valuable recommendations on topic selection, literature searches, research and evidence review, implementation, and evaluation. This new edition includes:

• NEW: An evidence funnel approach that flips the traditional evidence pyramid
• NEW: Updates to the EBP Evaluation Framework (KABOB) that include actionable local data to create sustainable change
• NEW: Revised implementation strategies with clinician and patient examples
• NEW: Focus on engaging patients in the process
• NEW: Ways to de-implement practices that are not evidence-based, are ineffective, or are even harmful

"Evidence-Based Practice in Action, Second Edition, will continue to ensure high-quality, evidence-based care is implemented in healthcare systems across the country-and the world. It should also be a well-worn tool in every implementation scientist's toolkit. The implementation strategies are laid out in the Iowa Implementation for Sustainability Framework, followed by concrete definitions, specifications, evidence, and examples. As the field of implementation science continues to grow, this level of detail is critical for being able to specify, track, and test what works best to ensure that the evidence base is practiced and sustained."
