The intent of EBP is to improve the quality of the care that is delivered to the client. This increased knowledge, whether it is correct or incorrect, is a motivating factor for nursing professionals to have current and correct information available when working with clients in making healthcare decisions. Healthcare professionals, especially nurses, are the touch point of health care and are the key to cost effective quality care. To ensure that decisions are based on sound information nurses must utilize EBR. As technology and research in health care expands, EBP is becoming essential in delivering high quality patient care.

Introduction Nursing from Nightingale era to the present world has merged as one of the noblest profession, with distinct advancement in nursing research, practices and education.

Implementing electronic medical records shows the commitment level of providers to an effective partnership with other health care providers which is instrumental in the coordination of care. Health care organizations must view electronic medical records “as the hub of the organization’s clinical information and as a tool in improving patient care quality, safety, and efficiency” (Wager, Lee, Glaser, & Burns, 2009, p.___). Depending on the type of functionality, electronic medical records can be quite useful in reporting health information data to various agencies. I will examine many beneficial features available in the practice management software of electronic medical records that will prove valuable for health care professionals.

Role of the Nurse in Healthcare Polity The role of a nurse in healthcare and policy is a very important one. The profession of nursing has consistently been ranked as the most respectable profession for ethics and honesty.

Understanding the Integration of Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing Introduction “Evidence based practice is a systematic approach that integrates the best currently available evidence, along with clinical expertise and each individual’s preference to make clinical decisions, in order to deliver the most optimal care to patients” (Baigis & Hughes, 2001, p.10). Evidence-based practice in nursing refers to the adaptation of the latest best nursing research findings with nurses’ clinical experience and the value and preference of patients, families and communities to make the patient care better (The Honor Society of Nursing, 2005). Quality Patient Care Based On Research There are multiple steps that must be completed before evidence based practice can be incorporated into final patient practices. The first stage is known as the knowledge generating stage. In this stage, knowledge is discovered through traditional research and scientific discovery.
