Translating Evidence into Clinical Practice
Why should we, as healthcare providers, use evidence-based practice? Evidence-based practice:
- Leads to highest quality care and patient outcomes
- Reduces health care costs
- Reduces geographic variations in the delivery of care
- Increases healthcare provider empowerment and role satisfaction
- Reduces healthcare provider turnover rate
- Increases reimbursement from 3rd party payers
- Reduces complications and payment denials
- Meets the expectation of an informed public
