Evidence Based PracticeEvidence Based Practice, or EBP, is defined as: nursing practice that bases clinical decisions on research, clinical expertise, patient choices, and critical evaluation of the literature.

As the hospital proceeds toward Magnet status, it becomes more important to integrate EBP into patient care.
