Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the cornerstone of nursing practice. While allowing the evidence to guide the design of an EBP protocol, it is important to consider the potential impact on the cognitive workload of busy clinicians. The Iowa Model includes developing a localized protocol as a part of the Design & Pilot step of EBP. 1 This step in the EBP process is the ideal time to address potential workflow concerns related to the localized protocol, by including clinician and patient feedback into the design process and midstream corrections that are anticipated. 2 Clinicians at the point-of-care are best equipped to inform how the localized protocol will be used and identify any potential roadblocks that would lead to workarounds or resistance to adoption.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
