Message from the Dean: Karen Rose

The Ohio State University College of Nursing’s commitment to evidence-based practice is long-standing and ingrained in our college’s DNA. The esteemed Fuld National Institute for EBP has provided leadership, influence and real-world impact to the EBP movement in many corners of our world. I am grateful to the pioneers and practitioners who have set that foundation at the Fuld, and I am thrilled about the opportunities ahead under Dr. Molly McNett’s leadership. Many thanks to our partners in EBP who have and will continue to lead the charge with us! 

Message from the Associate Dean: Molly McNett

I’m proud and privileged to lead the Fuld National Institute for EBP into its next iteration. The Fuld’s historical impact on the evidence-based practice movement is broad and significant, with partners across the nation and around the globe benefiting from the advocacy and expertise of our institute. Our focus in this next iteration is to continue to meet the evolving needs of our healthcare partners, with a renewed focus on implementation and sustainability of meaningful, evidence-based practice changes.. Our goals across the healthcare spectrum are the same: improve care, outcomes, experiences and equity and reduce the costs of care delivery. We believe a science-supported approach to implementation of evidence-based practices is the best vehicle to achieve those goals, and we look forward to continuing to positively impact patients, healthcare providers and healthcare systems in these efforts.
