Evaluating the Impact of Implementing Evidence-Based Practice (PDF)

The Evidence-Based Nursing Series is co-published with Sigma
Theta Tau International (STTI). The series focuses on implementing
evidence-based practice in nursing and midwifery and mirrors the
remit of Worldviews on Evidence-Based Nursing, encompassing
clinical practice, administration, research and public
policy.

Evaluating the Impact of Implementing Evidence-Based
Practice considers the importance of approaches to evaluate the
implementation of evidence-based practice.

Outcomes of evidence-based practice can be wide ranging and
sometimes unexpected. It is therefore important to evaluate
the success of any implementation in terms of clinical outcomes,
influence on health status, service users and health policy and
long-term sustainability, as well as economic impacts.

This, the third and final book in the series, looks at how best to
identify, evaluate and assess the outcomes of implementation ,
reflecting a wide range of issues to consider and address
when planning and measuring outcomes.
