EBP and The Theory-Practice Gap

Theory is used in health care and health care practices every day; however, most health care providers are unaware of its influence.

The use of evidence-based practice (EBP) models also help facilitate the implementation of research in clinical practice. This Discussion explores EBP as a strategy for bridging the theory-to-practice gap.

Following the Evidence: Planning for Sustainable Change The EBP team makes plans to implement an RRT in their hospital.
