Synopsis
Where Evidence-Based Practice Meets Innovation Healthcare organizations require both innovation and evidence-based practice to build systems that will support the future of improved care. Evidence-based practice forms the foundation from which healthcare leaders can build a case for change, while the practice of innovation provides for the exploration of emerging and novel approaches to care delivery. By combining these two concepts, Leadership for Evidence-Based Innovation in Nursing and Health Professions, Third Edition addresses the core competencies and behaviors required of advanced practice nurses to be innovative leaders. Dr. Weberg and Dr. Davidson thoughtfully revised and updated the third edition with new chapters and content on modern and timely topics, including implementation science as an extension of evidence-based practice, work force constructs and dynamics, building teams, and more. With Leadership for Evidence-Based Innovation in Nursing and Health Professions, Third Edition, advanced practice nursing students will confidently identify and address new and emerging sources of evidence-based practice that can inform, translate, and scale the complexity of leading innovation in healthcare organizations.
