Dartmouth Health Continuing Education for Professionals Home, The Fourth Annual Dartmouth-Hitchcock Nursing Research Symposium - What Can We Do By Next Tuesday? Bringing It All Together and Not Losing Steam (Part 3 of 3), 5/3/2021 8:00:00 AM - 5/3/2024 8:00:00 AM, Many nurses are unsure how to respond when asked to discuss the difference between evidence-based nursing practice (EBP), nursing research, and quality improvement (QI). All of these processes, when done well, result in new knowledge generation or knowledge synthesis. Each process has unique features and essential requirements, and all have the potential to inform and improve nursing care and nursing practice. Evidence-based practice, nursing research, and quality improvement all start with some form of a question, and many factors enter into a decision to choose one discovery process over another to answer the question. Join us as we learn how to determine whether an evidence-based practice, research, or quality improvement process is best suited to explore a question that YOU might have about your practice.
