Forms of Nursing Inquiry: Quality improvement (QI), Research, and Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)

Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) has captured the attention of healthcare providers, healthcare organizations, and consumers to positively influence patient outcomes. However, confusion abounds about how evidence-based practice differs from research and quality improvement.

• Select either EBP, research, or QI and identify how the selected approach is implemented to improve outcomes at your workplace.

• Is this selected approach used apart from or in conjunction with the other approaches?
• Can one approach be effectively applied without the others? Why or why not?
