"This book fills a significant gap in the literature and emphasizes the importance of evidence-based practice in expert clinical practice. The authors are champions in the EBP field, and all who read this book will find it empowering. I am excited to see a body of knowledge organized in one book that will truly impact how EBP can be effectively implemented throughout healthcare systems locally and globally. Congratulations on such a landmark publication!"

"In our fast-paced healthcare environment, implementing evidence into practice is even more critical to improve outcomes. As leaders, we need to embrace evidence-based practice and are responsible for building the culture of inquiry that will move healthcare forward. This book covers the practical, step-by-step guidelines to implement such a culture. Melnyk, Gallagher-Ford, and Fineout-Overholt do an excellent job of providing the competencies necessary to implement and sustain an evidencebased practice culture."

"Competence in evidence-based practice (EBP) is key to the success of RNs and APNs in implementing,
sustaining, and disseminating best practices. These research-based EBP competences are presented as a user-friendly, easy-to-implement tool that provides structure and support for nursing leaders in building a culture of EBP that will move their organization forward."
