Embracing practice innovation: The synergy of evidence-based practice and quality improvement strategies

Abstract

This article explores the synergistic relationship between evidence-based practice (EBP) and quality improvement (QI) methods in nursing, highlighting their potential to enhance patient outcomes and foster practice change. By identifying clinical gaps and employing a structured approach to integrate EBP and QI, nurses can effectively implement best practices tailored to evolving healthcare needs. Ultimately, this article provides a comprehensive framework for nurses to leverage EBP and QI collaboratively, thereby advancing nursing practice and improving patient care.
