Due to the profound benefits of implementation science in the health practice, the evidence-based practice (EBP) process is embraced as a powerful strategy for enhancing outcomes. Through the EBP approach, health care organizations continuously commit to solving practice problems by incorporating research evidence, patient values, and clinical expertise into the decision-making process (Chien, 2019). This discussion explains the strategies that I will incorporate into my practice based on this course.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nOne of the strategies that will be part of my practice is embracing and promoting a spirit of inquiry. Wyant (2018) described a spirit of inquiry as the foundation of evidence-based practice since nurses infused by such a spirit challenge traditional practices and seek new ways of solving problems. In this case, nurses are guided and informed by a persistent sense of curiosity that stimulates them to seek new and better solutions to current and emerging problems. The second strategy is embracing change. Mathieson et al. (2019) found that resistance to change hampers organizational progress in health care delivery since new strategies are not allowed to influence positive change. Therefore, I will promote the desired change always. The third strategy is to be committed to creating safe and supportive health environments. New strategies to improve care are embraced in such environments, aligning with the evidence-based practice\u2019s principle of progressive change.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nGenerally, evidence-based practice is a meticulous, problem-solving approach to improving health outcomes. The strategies above have been selected since they focus on improving the practice environment. Problem-solving is a core principle in each strategy, implying that their application will be the basis for better, current, and relevant patient care.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nReferences<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\nChien, L.
