AB Evidence-based  practice  (EBP)  is  about  clinical  decision-making—how  we  find  and  use  information  and  how  we  integrate  knowledge,  experience,  and  judgment  to  address  clinical  problems.  EBP  requires  a  mindset  that  values  evidence  as  an  important  component  of  quality  care  and  a  skill  set  in  searching  the  literature,  critical  appraisal,  synthesis,  and  reasoning  to  determine  the  applicability  of  evidence  to  current  issues.  The  ultimate  goal  is  to  create  a  culture  of  inquiry  and  rigorous  evaluation  that  provides  a  basis  for  balancing  quality  with  the  uncertainty  that  is  found  in  practice—all  in  the  effort  to  improve  patient  care.
