The Institute of Medicine [IOM] defines evidence-based practice as “The integration of best research, clinical expertise, and patient values in making decisions about the care of individualized patients.”

“If we want excellence in practice to be the standard for care, critical care nurses must embrace evidence-based practice as the norm. We cannot knowingly continue a clinical practice despite research that shows that the practice is not helpful and may even be harmful to the patients we serve.”
