The Evidence-Based Practice Process Steps 4, 5, and 6: Integration, Evaluation, and Dissemination.

This is the final column in a series of columns that began with the January/February 2021 issue of Neonatal Network , describing the evidence-based practice (EBP) project. The series has taken the reader through sparking the spirit of inquiry, asking a compelling question, and searching and critically appraising the literature. This column will briefly describe the final three steps: step 4, the integration of evidence with clinical expertise and patient/family preferences; step 5, the evaluation of outcomes of practice changes based on evidence; and step 6, the dissemination of the outcomes of the EBP change.
