Implementing Evidence-based Practice in the Real World

In this session, Ellen Fineout-Overholt discussed the AZCAEP consortium, which started in Arizona to promote the adoption of evidence-based practice across healthcare fields. AZCAEP started as an open invitation to the medical community where people could come together and discover the common language of evidence-based care. So far, AZCAEP has involved over 50 agencies across Arizona. This initiative is an excellent example of breaking down barriers and bringing healthcare communities together to promote evidence-based practice.
