Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice: Implementation and Translation

Evidence based practice (EBP) is a leading trend in nursing practice, research, and education. EBP is part of nursing schools' curriculum, and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) requires EBP be included in post-baccalaureate nurse residency programs.The model in this book has instant name recognition because it was developed by The Johns Hopkins Hospital (JHH) and The Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing (JHUSON). U.S. News & World Report has ranked Johns Hopkins as the top American hospital for 18 consecutive years. The publication ranked the university in the top 4 of the nation's best nursing graduate schools.This book provides detailed instructions on implementation of EBP and includes the relationship to the American Nurses Credentialing Center Magnet Recognition Program, which hospitals try to achieve partly because of its value in marketing their nursing services.No other book on the market in this price range covers this topic. Divided into three parts: infrastructure, implementation, and translation.Vignettes are used as exemplars to support chapter content.It is both a textbook and a resource for nurses in education and practice who must implement EBP.Faculty members and staff development instructors can download a PDF of a free instructor's guide to use as a resource.
