ASPAN's [corrected] EBP conceptual model: framework for perianesthesia practice and research.
The American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses (ASPAN) highly regards evidence-based practice (EBP) as a guide to promoting "Best Practices" and improving patient outcomes. EBP is now considered the "gold standard" in improving patient care through the use of the best available evidence. EBP models provide the health care provider with a rigorous systematic method of rating and appraising the evidence that includes, but is not limited to, randomized controlled trials, descriptive studies, qualitative studies, national guidelines, and expert opinion. ASPAN's EBP Team was charged with the development of an EBP Conceptual Model to provide the framework for future perianesthesia practice, education, and research. This article describes how ASPAN's EBP model may be used as a framework for practice and research.
