What is EBP and why is original nursing research important as a way to improve patient outcomes and safety?

EBP is the integration of clinical expertise, values of patients and the best research verification which help in making decisions for patient care. It also needed the expertise of the clinician which also includes well-organized literature review and formal rules of evidence in evaluating the clinical literature. The motive of EBP criteria is to provide nurses with the understanding and skills which they require for implementing EBP constantly (Gallagher-Ford et al., 2011).
