Evidence-Based Practice
Name: Evidence-Based Practice
Course Number: HCA 623
Credit(s): 3

Course Description

This course examines the evidence-based practice (EBP) process, which involves defining a clinical situation of interest, formatting an excellent clinical question, conducting a literature search, reading and critiquing research findings or published research reports or both, and deciding if the “evidence” warrants a change in practice. Although this course highlights the nursing profession, students learn research terms and principles applicable to other sub-fields in healthcare. 

Learning Outcomes:

  • Thoroughly understand the EBP process.
  • Critically analyze when the evidence warrants practice changes.
  • Learn to implement new research to create evidence when none is yet available.
  • Develop proficiency in constructing research reports and undertake the research process to suggest enhancements to the quality of patient care in the clinical environment.
