“Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a problem-solving approach to the delivery of health care that integrates the best evidence from studies and patient care data with clinician expertise and patient preferences and values. When delivered in a context of caring and in a supportive organizational culture, the highest quality of care and best patient outcomes can be achieved.”

The EBM Triad
Twelve articles were published in the American Journal of Nursing (AJN) to give nurses the knowledge and skills they need to implement EBP consistently, one step at a time. The series was authored by faculty from the Arizona State University College of Nursing and Health Innovation's Center for the Advancement of Evidence-Based Practice.
The series received the Nursing Media Award for Print from Sigma Theta Tau International Awards for Nursing Excellence.
