“…Clinicians who advocate for the application of evidence to practice continue to list time, expertise, administrative support, and resources as barriers to the implementation of EBP. The Internet has provided access to appropriate resources in a timely fashion (see Wardell, 2005, for examples of these resources). Specialty and federal organizations are developing clinical guidelines and treatment protocols that are evidence based and available for clinicians to incorporate into their own practice or their clinical setting.…”
Evidence-based practice is a natural process for the inquiring home care nurse who wants to provide the highest quality of care. A critical step in the process is finding the best evidence and employing appropriate expertise and resources to facilitate the search. This critical step can be more easily accomplished with a collaborative partnership involving a reference librarian and the clinician. In this process, each uses his or her unique expertise to search for the best evidence to support practice decisions. Examples are given of current relevant evidence for health care clinicians and suggestions for how to use the evidence in decision making.

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.
