'Evidence-Based Clinical Practice in Nursing and Health Care examines the Joanna Briggs Institute model of evidence-based health care which recognises research, theory and practice as sources of evidence, and takes a practical approach to developing, implementing and evaluating practice, based on'evidence' in its broadest sense.''Evidence-Based Clinical Practice in Nursing and Health Care addresses the generation and synthesis of evidence, and the transferral and utilisation of evidence in clinical practice. It describes the development of practice information sheets and clinical guidelines and provides practical guidance on the implementation of evidence-based practice and its evaluation using clinical audit.'--Jacket.
