Focuses on the implementation of evidence-based practice to address trends in safety and quality to achieve optimal outcomes.

Emphasis is placed on the retrieval, appraisal, and synthesis of evidence in collaboration with healthcare team members, including patients, to improve care outcomes. Use of performance measures to assess and improve the delivery of evidence-based practices and to promote outcomes that demonstrate delivery of quality care at the microsystem level are also highlighted.
