[From 10$/Pg] Fajarini Et AlEvidence based practice is a concept applied in the healthcare
environment for quality care improvement and generation of desired benefits for patients,
healthcare providers, and the healthcare system as a whole. The main aim of this concept is
to integrate various concepts into healthcare. For instance; best current research evidence,
the expertise, healthcare providers’ experiences, and patient preferences. Additionally,
Evidence based practice entails the utilization of the most current available research for the
improvement of the health of the patients while reducing overall costs and variation in
health outcomes. Various healthcare organizations have incorporated this concept to
achieve higher quality care delivery (Fajarini et al.,2020).For this discussion, I will be
reviewing the website of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) and
determining if the website supports evidence-based practice. The AANP is a professional
healthcare organization that grants membership to nurse practitioners and nurse
practitioner students. Over 104,000 members have joined this organization to improve
patient care and advance the profession. The benefits of being a member include; access to
continuing education, networking opportunities, and access to the most up to date medical
journals. While exploring the various tabs on the website, I feel that EBP is apparent on the
website in numerous places such as the press room site, research opportunities site, and
practice related research site (Mossé, 2021).Through the exploration of the website, I was
able to identify an area that documented how nurse practitioners are involved in the
medically assisted treatment (MAT) and the opioid epidemic. The information of how nurse
practitioners are assisting with improving patient outcomes with opioid use disorder is
insightful. Statistical data such as graphs, and infographics are also provided for review.
This evidence-based research helps shed light on ways that advanced practice nurses can
help in the improvement of quality care, reduce healthcare costs, and improve patient
outcomes (Thomas, 2021).As I embark on my academic career, I believe that I must become
part of a professional nursing organization that supports EBP. As a nurse practitioner, I will
be able to touch many lives. Additionally, I will also advocate for improved patient
outcomes, reduced healthcare spending, and delivery of quality healthcare. I feel that by
joining AANP, I will be aligning myself with a network of professionals who are focused on
the same goal, and seeking to utilize EBP. ReferencesFajarini, M., Rahayu, S., & Setiawan, A.
