In 2017, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Nursing Services (ONS) recognized the need to increase the cadence of disseminating standardized implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP). Fortunately, the ONS Director of Research and EBP was invited to the Helene Fuld Health Trust National Institute for Evidence-based Practice’s (the Fuld) inaugural National Summit at The Ohio State University. Subsequently, members of the national nursing leadership team attended an immersion at the Dayton, Ohio Veterans Affairs Medical Center. This exposure and experience ignited a leadership commitment to fund a strategic initiative to develop EBP mentors at each VA medical center site in collaboration with the Fuld.
