Equip your students to expertly conduct evidence-based practice (EBP) or quality improvement (QI) projects! Advancing Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing and Healthcare, Second Edition, is a straightforward yet comprehensive guide to planning, implementing, and evaluating EBP and QI projects to improve healthcare quality and outcomes. Building on the legacy built by Geri LoBiondo-Wood and Judi Haber, this edition is newly tailored to meet the goals and strategic priorities of a variety of healthcare settings, with the tenets of ANCC Magnet designation, JCAHO accreditation, and other current regulatory and quality standards integrated throughout. This edition features a new focus on both academic and practice settings, including content informed by recent guidance documents such as The Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education (AACN, 2021), Advancing Healthcare Transformation: A New Era for Academic Nursing (AACN, 2016), and the principles of Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity (NASEM, 2021). Also new to this edition are 10 new chapters (including topics related to the impact of academic practice partners; nurse wellness; diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging; population health and innovation; new models of evidence-based practice; and more!) and an entirely new unit on Evidence-Based Practice Innovation in Healthcare.
