Why is understanding the health care system at the local level important to consider when planning an
EBP implementation? Conduct research and solicit anecdotal evidence from your course mentor that you
will take into consideration for your own change project.
When planning an EBP project one must consider the health care system where they want it to be
implemented. For example, what kind of resources will be available and is the health care system
ready to implement a new EBP project. Looking within the local level helps to identify needs
that will benefit the patients the healthcare system supports. EBP can address problems
identified to the local health care system and will use current clinician’s expertise and will take
into account patients values and preferences (Bardsley, Eich, Esche, Kropkowski, McLaughlin,
Risch & Warren, 2016). On the local level, some health care systems do not have librarians to
help RN’s with research for EBP, so this is a major consideration.
