What makes the ND Nurses Journal Club different from other journal clubs?
Many health care providers use journal clubs as a method to read individual articles and share those findings with their colleagues. Typically one article is shared with the group at a time.
The ND Nurses Journal Club is different in that we follow the EPB method...formulate a PICO question, search the literature for information, apply a measurement of both level and strength of findings, summarize the findings, determine to what extent the findings support a practice change. By disseminating this work through this website we provide an opportunity for all nurses in a variety of practice settings to share questions and solutions.
We will be providing a link to a number of different documents and forms/ templates you can download and use. In the mean time take a moment to refresh your knowledge base of EBP by reviewing the material at the websites listed below.
