The nursing shared governance structure as a vehicle for advancing EBP: An evidence-based approach

Other Titles

Advancing EBP in nursing shared governance

Abstract

Our system-wide study found that nurses' beliefs in and implementation of EBP were low; organizational readiness for EBP needed support. Based on these data, the Shared Governance Structure developed, implemented and evaluated strategies to advance EBP. Our approach is replicable by shared governance structures in community hospital systems.
