Given the current challenging situation of our U.S. healthcare system with the number of errors, preventable complications and wasteful healthcare spending, there is an urgent need to accelerate and sustain evidence-based practice across the nation.
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is an approach to decision making that brings evidence, clinical expertise and patient preferences together to drive best patient care as well as clinician engagement and satisfaction.
Immersions
These unique programs provide a deep-dive immersion into evidence-based practice as well as effective strategies for integrating and sustaining EBP into clinical and/or academic organizations of any size or level of complexity. If you are looking for a single program to ignite and sustain the EBP shift in your organization, find out more information below.
Modular programs
This online program is available for individuals who are interested in enhancing their EBP knowledge, skills and attitudes. In addition, organizations can implement the modular program as an inter-professional annual competency to promote, build, enhance and sustain a culture of evidence-based practice.

The Center for Transdisciplinary Evidence-based Practice (CTEP) is an innovative enterprise that fosters EBP for the ultimate purpose of improving quality of care and patient/family health outcomes. The CTEP team is comprised of experts in EBP from multiple disciplines who facilitate the integration of external and internal evidence with a clinician’s expertise and patients’ preferences/values across multiple settings to improve patient, provider, community, and system outcomes.
"The CTEP immersion program was helpful in illuminating the steps required to comprehensively synthesize published scientific data to answer clinical questions generated from the practice setting. Performing a review of literature has been a task I have done hundreds of times in the development of research projects and scientific manuscripts and so I thought I understood how to answer a clinical question.

"The Mercy health system was privileged to be the first off campus CTEP EBP Immersion site. To say that it was a tremendous success is an understatement. We used the program to launch our Mercy-wide Nursing Research and Evidence Council. The chairs from facility councils across the system attended along with our masters-prepared nurse experts responsible for patient pathway development. It is so thrilling to hear them ask 'What does the evidence say?' then draft PICOT questions, search the literature, and find answers to drive decision-making and best practice across our system!"

"The common saying ‘just a staff nurse’ does not apply to me. I am a nurse who provides evidence-based care at the direct point of care—the bedside—where it is most powerful. I implement, and mentor others in evidence-based practice on a daily basis in the 'real world'. I see evidence-based practices changing the way healthcare is delivered and positively impacting patient and family outcomes every day. Being an evidence-based clinician and mentor has totally enriched my professional practice!"
