Nursing research and practice
The Institute of Medicine set a goal that 90% of health care decisions should be evidence-based by 2020. At best guess, less than 10% of decisions use best evidence. Bridging the gap between research, findings, and practice implementation is one strategy to meet this important goal.
Requirements:
Select a practice from the AHRQ comparative effectiveness research site and write a 1,000-1,250 word paper that looks at a gap that exists between research findings and the implementation of those findings in practice. Include the following:
- Discuss the practice.
- Assess to what extent the practice is being implemented.
- Evaluate the barriers to implementation into practice.
- Propose ways to overcome the barriers.
- Discuss the resources available on the selected site to inform translation.
- Use at least two additional scholarly research sources published within the last 5 years. Provide citations and references for all sources used.
