Evidence-Based Practice

Evidence based practice (EBP) is such an important issue in healthcare.  I am working on 3 projects with students to assess care practices.  I look forward to the day when we can pull reports out of our health information systems that can be easily interfaced.

Linda, added EBP resources to the textbook web site http://dlthede.net/Informatics/Informatics.html )(today.  The resources supplement chapter 11.  Am listing them below.
