Evidence-Based Healthcare

This collection of articles was authored by faculty from the Arizona State University College of Nursing and Health Innovation's Center for the Advancement of Evidence-Based Practice and was published over several months in the American Journal of Nursing. The purpose of this series is to give nurses the knowledge and skills they need to implement EBP consistently, one step at a time.

While written specifically for nurses, other healthcare professionals will find value in the articles as well.

This great series is available for free through the publisher's website!
