NURS 660 Planning for Evidence-Based Practice

Enables students to make a case for nursing practice decisions based on research studies and data. Students will learn to evaluate and apply evidence-based practice to health care as it relates to leadership and management functions. Evidence-based practice is defined as a problem-solving approach to decision-making that involves the conscientious use of the best available evidence, along with one's own expertise, to improve outcomes for individuals, group, communities, and systems.
