Evidence Based Practice
Evidence Based Practice, or EBP, is defined as:
nursing practice that bases clinical decisions on
research, clinical expertise, patient choices, and
critical evaluation of the literature.
One of our goals at Preston Medical Library is to
provide access to EBP information resources to
help integrate it into nursing practice.
As the hospital proceeds toward Magnet status, it
becomes more important to integrate EBP into
patient care.
