Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) has become a buzzword in healthcare.
Children’s Hospital Colorado
EBP Improves
• Patient Outcomes
• Reduces Costs
• Standardizes Practice
Clinicians Don’t Use EBP Because
• Too Hard
• Lack Knowledge
• Lack Experience

(Dogherty, Harrison, Graham, Vandyk, & Keeping-Burke, 2013; Fink et al, 2005; Stevens, 2013).
No consistency
in formal education
No consistency in individual
leaders in practice
Wide variability in
the skills, tools, and resources
Clinicians enter practice with various backgrounds, knowledge, and educational experiences leading to wide variability on
how “EBP” is practiced at the bedside.
Children’s Hospital Colorado
(Fink et al, 2005)
Organization adopted EBP language into
nursing vision, mission, strategic goals
Created clear job expectations for
utilization of EBP at all levels of nursing
through clinical ladder
• Provide Resources To Facilitate EBP, Research And Quality
• Evidence-Based Professional Nursing Practice
• Support Innovation and The Advancement of Nursing Practice
• Clinical Ladder Based on QSEN Competencies
• Four Level Ladder – clear expectations for how to demonstrate EBP behavior at each level

• Journal Clubs to hone skills
• Mentor workshop
• EBP overview
• Monthly OSU-CTEP EBP webinars
Children’s Hospital Colorado
Organizational Assessment
• Response rate 17% (n=1013) – Baseline, 6 months, 12 months• 82% staff RNs; 5% CNS/Educator; 2% APN; 7% manager/administrator; 4%
other.
Do we have the process and structure to
support EBP?
• Organizational Culture & Readiness for System-Wide Integration of Evidence-based Practice Survey (OCRSIEBP)
Are our people ready for EBP?
• Evidence-based Practice Beliefs Scale
Are we demonstrating the behaviors of EBP?
• Evidence-based Practice Implementation Scale
Children’s Hospital Colorado
Analysis of Organizational Assessment
One variable demonstrated significant improvement (p=.003) in each timeframe
• Presence of EBP champions among staff nurses.
Five questions demonstrated significant improvement (p< .05) from baseline to 6 months and then decreased at 1 year:
• EBP is practiced in my organization.
• We are ready for EBP.
• EBP takes too much time.
• EBP is difficult.
• I know how to implement EBP.
Two questions demonstrated significant decline (p = .000) in scores at all timeframes
• Confidence about my ability to implement EBP.
• Believe that my care is evidence-based).

Eleven key questions (thought to represent training impact) were examined at baseline, 6 months, & 12 months using ANOVA
