Evidence-based practice (EBP) is used by nursing professionals around the world to implement changes in their current nursing practice. One of the benefits of implementing EBP results in a higher level of care that ultimately leads to better patient outcomes. EBP combines the latest research evidence that is easily accessible to healthcare providers (Prior, Wilkinson & Neville, 2010). EBP has several advantages in the healthcare setting; EBP increases nurses' critical thinking and decision-making, their confidence level, and their ability to adapt to change, as they must constantly evaluate the various research that would support and be beneficial in their practice (Hanberg and Brown, 2006). The Royal College of Nursing in the United Kingdom has developed the Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services (PARIHS) programme, which is a multi-faceted framework. According to PARIHS, the formula for successful implementation of EBP integrates three elements: clinical expertise or expert opinion, external scientific evidence, and patient perspectives to provide high-quality services that reflect the values, interests and needs of the individuals served (Rycroft-Malone, J., 2004). One framework developed by nurses is Advancing Research and Clinical Practice through Close Collaboration (ARCC). The goal of ARCC is to improve the integration of research and clinical practice in acute care settings, such as the Cardiac Telemetry Unit at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital. The ARCC helps disperse the best, high-quality evidence from studies to facilitate the advancement of an EBP method toward clinical care. Implementation of EBP to reduce the number of readmissions for Spanish-speaking patients with HF will require the use... middle of article......scientific research cannot be applied to individual patients. Nurses working in clinical settings must prioritize the ever-increasing demands of patient care and associated tasks on a daily basis. Participating in an EBP is not a priority since it is imperative to meet the needs of patients and their families. Therefore, nurses' best intentions to participate and/or support research may be overridden by patient care and workload demands (Giles et al., 2010). For the policy or clinical guideline to be both evidence-based and clinically relevant, it must balance the strengths and weaknesses of all applicable research evidence with the practical realities of health care settings and clinics. This can be a problematic step due to limitations in available data and policy development (Donald & Haines, 1998).
