1.Evidence based research has impacted health care research by providing improvements in the quality of care, validity in research through filtering out errors; improving patient outlooks and reducing the length of stay and cost for both patients and their health care providers. Once these procedures have been established, it is easier to process. They main problem with evidence based research is getting others on board, they called it translation and acceptance. If other hospitals, clinicians and practitioners of health care are not in agreement or are reluctant to try these newer innovative techniques, then things will not or will be slow to change. One must have a powerful impact, when presenting the evidence or have people who are currently using these techniques and fostering new and emerging practitioners following the evidence based techniques to keep the flow strong, so that there is no lag in between. Although the findings may be good, there is still need for others to accept the findings and to utilize the procedures to make the benefits work across the board. Evidence based research is important, because it presents its finding based on validity and the research itself can back up its findings. Once they have been accepted, they must be practiced among the majority to see the benefits that can be achieved though these findings.


2.Informed decision making in health care has thrived as a result of the expanded evidence base used in research initiatives which includes clinical aspects such as the use of procedures, equipment, and medicine and the administrative aspects that deal with the organization and management of health care between providers, information technology staff and other stakeholders (Institute of Medicine, 2007). Evidence based research drives discovery and inspires innovation in thought not only in a clinical sense, where it helps support hypothesis and disprove false assumptions on matters impacting practices and health issues, but by also providing the scientific backbone needed to secure funding and governmental support that oftentimes allows the research to operate and protects it from public policy and regulatory oversight. With the rising cost of health care in the United States, research is expected to provide value and concrete data that can be applied to processes and procedures that not only improve patient care but control spending, In order to accomplish this, researchers must support their findings with sufficient evidence that can be confirmed by other parties and is transferrable to other initiatives.
