"I thought it was impossible to top the first edition of Evidence-Based Practice in Action, but the authors have done it! This new edition is essential for all who want to deliver evidence-based care. Beautifully organized, it is readable, practical, and user-friendly. Based on the Iowa Model and grounded in evaluation and implementation frameworks, this edition targets local needs and care contexts. I love the bulleted tips and key points, real-world examples, and tools at the conclusion of each chapter. Readers will, too!"

"Evidence-Based Practice in Action, Second Edition, will continue to ensure high-quality, evidence-based care is implemented in healthcare systems across the country-and the world. It should also be a well-worn tool in every implementation scientist's toolkit. The implementation strategies are laid out in the Iowa Implementation for Sustainability Framework, followed by concrete definitions, specifications, evidence, and examples. As the field of implementation science continues to grow, this level of detail is critical for being able to specify, track, and test what works best to ensure that the evidence base is practiced and sustained."
