Concepts of Evidence Based Practice for Practice Improvement

Catalog description

In this course students in the accelerated program focus on understanding and applying the research evidence that informs clinical practice. Students formulate a clinical practice question, find, evaluate, and synthesize the research evidence related to that question, and determine implications for practice. Students develop an evidence-based approach to providing quality, safe, and equitable, person-centered, primary health care. Research topics foster a spirit of inquiry in students that enhance creativity and innovation in the delivery of evidence-based, primary health care, collaboration with other health care professionals and utilization of health care technologies. Students use personal, professional, and leadership practices for the improvement of quality outcomes for patient-centered, primary health care.
