1) Although nurses are using more evidence-based practice, there is still some room for improvement. What are some areas where nurses could better adhere to EBP? (this counts as reply)
2. Joshua,

In what ways is EBP applied where you work or where you do clinicals?

Evidence-based practice is an approach that the healthcare team utilizes with the most current research available. With the application of EBP, patient outcomes become better. Nurses can stay updated with new medical protocols for patient care, and it can increase the chances of their patients making a full recovery. According to an article called "Why Is Evidence-Based Practice In Nursing So Important?" by Eastern Illinois University, implanting evidence-based practice decreases the demand for healthcare resources; thus, it can reduce healthcare expenses. (Eastern Illinois University, 2018).

Discuss the findings of a QI initiative or study from either your clinical location/hospital website or another online source.

Quality improvement is a systemic, formal approach to analyzing practice performance and efforts to improve performance. It helps nurses with reliable and cost-effective care, which enables them to achieve their goal of taking care of the patients. According to an article called "What is "quality improvement" and how can it transform healthcare," Paul Bataden and Frank Davidoff discuss how quality improvement can improve the healthcare system. Batalden and Davidoff conducted a study that found five characteristics in quality improvement. Those five characteristics include 1. Generalizable scientific evidence, 2. Particular context awareness, 3. Performance measurement, 4. Plans for change, and 5.  Execution of planned changes (Batalden and Davidoff, 2007). Acquiring this characteristic can be essential over the long run.
