Nurse managers' role in evidence-based practice

HCPro's Weekly Update on the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program®*, March 25, 2008

Nurse managers are key players in implementing and integrating evidence-based practice (EBP) at the unit level by educating staff nurses about EBP and how to deliver evidence-based care at the bedside. Nurse managers should take on the following EBP roles to ensure quality care at the bedside:

• Set the vision for the unit
• Establish unit priorities
• Manage resources and facilitate the success of unit-based EBP workgroups
• Support EBP by communicating with unit staff the expectations for participation and available resources
• Encourage broad staff participation to promote collaborative teamwork
• Become a primary vehicle for recognition of staff nurses' success in EBP
