The primary focus of this course is to integrate best current evidence with clinical expertise and patient/family preferences and values for the delivery of optimal health care. To that end the emphasis of the course will be on critiquing and rating the research literature for application of research to practice and the development of an evidence based practice project. Select research designs frequently used in practice settings will also be explored. Quality improvement strategies, methods and issues will be discussed and applied to practice. Analysis and use of appropriate statistical methods will be integrated throughout the course.
