Doody Review Services Reviewer: Diane M Tomasic, EdD, RN(Slippery Rock University ) Description: This book describes the collaborative development and implementation of the Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Model. The model was created and tested by a team of nurses and faculty at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and The Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing. Purpose: The purpose is to provide background on evidence-based practice (EBP), examples of EBP projects, and details on how to develop EBP programs. These skills are necessary as nursing develops competency in EBP. Audience: The target audience is nurses, healthcare agencies, and schools of nursing. The authors developed and tested the model and are directly involved in areas such as EBP projects, research, and the development of practice guidelines. Features: Section I introduces the concept of EBP and describes the evolution of EBP in nursing and the role of critical thinking in EBP. Section II describes the components of the Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Model, which emphasizes practice, education, and research. Guidelines for conducting an EBP projects using the Practice Question, Evidence, and Translation process (PET) are described. Section III focuses on the PET process in developing EBP projects. Section IV describes the supportive environment needed for successful incorporation of EBP. Examples of EBP projects at Johns Hopkins are described in Section V. Section VI contains tools used at Johns Hopkins. It is noted that these tools can be downloaded at the Institute for Johns Hopkins Nursing Web site. Assessment: The book is straightforward and easy to read. It is an essential book for learning about an EBP model and implementation. Within a health-care environment of ever-increasing scrutiny and heightened expectations, nurses, physicians, public health scientists, and other health-care professionals must continually explore what works best in patient care based on the best evidence available. The goal of evidence-based practice (EBP) in nursing is to promote improved interventions, care, and patient outcomes. Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Model and Guidelines depicts three essential cornerstones that form the foundation for professional nursing: practice, education, and research. Nursing practice is the means by which a patient receives nursing care; education reflects the acquisition of the nursing knowledge and skills necessary to become a proficient clinician and to maintain competency; and research provides new knowledge to the profession and enables the development of practices based on scientific evidence. Nurses from The Johns Hopkins Hospital and faculty members from The Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing worked in collaboration to develop the practice model in this book. The model and guidelines demystify and facilitate the EBP process for administrators, managers, staff nurses, faculty, and students alike. The practical approach presented here puts EBP within the reach of every nurse and health-care institution. Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Models and Guidelines covers practical guidelines on the model with exemplars, a question and development tool, evidence rating scale, project management, appraisal forms, and evidence summary documents. This book helps nurses, not only understand the theory, but also put it into action
