Clinical Core
We believe in transforming healthcare to achieve the Quadruple Aim: improving the patient and clinician experience, improving outcomes and reducing overall healthcare costs.
The clinical core helps individuals and organizations learn, understand and leverage evidence-based practice and decision making. From how to build and maintain an EBP culture, capacity and infrastructure to how to measure and sustain success…we cover it all!
We are clinicians, educators, leaders, and researchers who help healthcare professionals and organizations understand the importance and impact of an evidence-based approach to healthcare decision-making. At an organizational level, we will help you build an enterprise-wide EBP culture and the necessary infrastructures to support evidence-based work. At the individual level, we will help you build your EBP competence (knowledge, skills and beliefs) and give you a toolkit full of resources to assure your success as an EBP champion.
We can offer you various, customized opportunities to support your EBP journey to systematically implement best practices to improve care and outcomes for your patients and clinicians.
