Module 01 – Course Project Introduction
· Project Overview
This project will take you through the steps of evidence-based practice (EBP). According to QSEN, EBP is to “integrate best current evidence with clinical expertise and patient/family preferences and values for delivery of optimal health care”. As a future nurse, you must embrace the spirit of inquiry mentioned previously. After completing this five-part project you will have a better understanding of how this process works and how it improves patient care.
The final piece of the project is due in Module 10 however; there are other due dates that you need to be aware of.
