The Role of Evidence-Based Management in Enhancing Nursing Performance and Patient Care Outcomes

Abstract

This article explores the critical role of evidence-based management (EBM) in enhancing nursing performance and improving patient care outcomes. EBM integrates clinical expertise with the best available evidence from systematic research and patient values to make informed decisions within healthcare settings. By applying EBM principles in nursing management, healthcare institutions can foster a culture of continuous improvement, enabling nurses to deliver high-quality care efficiently. The study examines the direct correlation between evidence-based management practices and improved nursing performance, highlighting key factors such as leadership, training, and the availability of up-to-date research. Furthermore, it addresses how EBM strategies can positively impact patient care by reducing errors, improving patient satisfaction, and enhancing overall healthcare delivery. Data was collected from various healthcare institutions to analyze the adoption of EBM and its effects on nursing staff. The findings demonstrate that hospitals implementing EBM practices report higher levels of nurse engagement, better decision-making processes, and improved patient outcomes. The study concludes with recommendations for integrating EBM more comprehensively in nursing management and calls for further research to assess its long-term impact on healthcare systems.
