TY - GEN N2 - Achieving quality and excellence are not new concepts to healthcare. In 1999, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released the landmark report “To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System” that launched the national patient safety and quality movement that continues today (Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, 1999). In 2001, the IOM released a second report, “Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century” citing the inability to translate knowledge into the practice environment as a substantial obstacle to achieving quality health care. This report recommends several patient safeguards to make the workplace more conducive to patient safety. One of several recommendations is to provide Registered Nurses (RNs) with decision support at the point of care. The focus of this clinical inquiry is to promote EBP through the development of a Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) facilitation intervention. Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS) can serve as change agents in reducing barriers to evidence based practice.
