Abstract

The Institute of Medicine’s landmark report titled “To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System,” wherein upward of 98,000 deaths annually were attributed to medical error, began to introduce the concept of evidence-based practice (EBP) to the American public and its practitioners. Since this report, clinicians have been struggling to implement and realign healthcare delivery to an evidence-based framework. This column will add to a nurse anesthetist’s foundational knowledge regarding the importance of EBP, its characteristics, and the critical steps for engaging in EBP, as well as discuss the necessary intersection of EBP with student clinical instruction.
