Implementation Into Practice
The Institute of Medicine set a goal that 90% of health care
decisions should be evidence-based by 2020. At best guess, less than
10% of decisions use best evidence. Bridging the gap between research,
findings, and practice implementation is one strategy to meet this
important goal. This assignment will help you to find gaps that may be
used for your project.
