A key aspect of high-quality and safe patient care is the use of evidence-based practice. This course explores the implementation of evidence-based practices, including the use of relevant theories, frameworks, models, tools, and research findings.

This course is designed for health professionals and practitioners who want to master the steps of using implementation science to improve healthcare delivery. This course focuses on how to implement evidence-based practices effectively through the use of relevant theories, frameworks, models, tools, and research findings. The course is organized around the steps involved in planning, executing, and evaluating implementation efforts to improve health outcomes. Coverage spans assessing the knowledge-practice gap; selecting an evidence-based practice (EBP) to reduce the gap; and assessing EBP fit and adapting the EBP. Fit for learners in public health, health policy, nursing, medicine, mental health, behavioral health, allied health, and social work. This course seeks to bridge the gap from scientific evidence to effective practice.

Clinicians will learn the fundamentals of quality improvement applicable to any clinical setting.
