Quality improvement approach
Evidence-based practice guidelines derived from valid, current
research and other evidence sources can successfully improve
patient outcomes and quality care. However, simply disseminating
scientific evidence is often ineffective in changing clinical practice.
Learning how to implement findings is critically important to
promoting high quality and safe care.12 To facilitate effectively the
translation of best evidence into practice, processes enhancing
practice change must be embraced by the health care provider.13
Understanding health care provider decisions, experiences, practice
processes, and barriers are considered essential elements that
must be explored to successfully implement practice change based
on best evidence
