Facilitator Guide for Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice for Nurses and Healthcare Professionals, Fifth Edition

Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice for Nurses and Healthcare Professionals: Model & Guidelines, 5th Edition, reaffirms the original mission of the Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice (JHEBP) model to support patient safety, professional development, and the education of healthcare students. Many evidence-based practice (EBP) books are in print today, but what makes this book valuable is its applicability for use in the classroom and its practical approach for the practice setting. The detailed guidelines and specific tools that accompany each step in the process promote success.

This facilitator guide is intended for use by university faculty and nurses and healthcare clinicians facilitating professional development in healthcare organizations. The main book is used as a text for undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral courses to help students achieve the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to learn the essentials of their educational programs. The JHEBP model is also used in the practice environment to guide clinical inquiry and enhance practice decision-making. The model and tools have high utility in both environments.
