Translating research to practice takes 10-20 years or more and evidence-based
practice (EBP) integration remains at 10%-20%, despite recommendations requiring EBP-
guided decisions. EBP integration has been associated with up to 30% decreases in
healthcare system spending, improved quality outcomes, and increased staff satisfaction. Nurse leaders are accountable for EBP enculturation, yet rate quality and safety as the highest priority and EBP as the lowest. This knowledge gap perpetuates low EBP integration rates and hinders EBP enculturation.
