Learning Goal: I’m working on a nursing discussion question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.
To Prepare:
- Review the Resources and reflect on the definition and goal of Evidence based practice.
- Choose a professional healthcare organization’s website (e.g., a reimbursing body, an accredited body, or a national initiative).
- Explore the website to determine where and to what extent Evidence based practice is evident.
Post a description of the healthcare organization website you reviewed. Describe where, if at all, Evidence based practice appears (e.g., the mission, vision, philosophy, and/or goals of the healthcare organization, or in other locations on the website). Then, explain whether this healthcare organization’s work is grounded in Evidence based practice and why or why not. Finally, explain whether the information you discovered on the healthcare organization’s website has changed your perception of the healthcare organization. Be specific and provide examples.
