This text provides top-tier guidance for DNP students, graduate faculty, APRNs and other healthcare providers on how to use available research for
improving patient outcomes and reducing costs. It is the only resource written expressly to meet the objectives of DNP courses. This second edition is
completely updated and features three new approaches—umbrella reviews, mixed method reviews, and other types of reviews--for seeking, synthesizing, and
interpreting available evidence to improve the delivery of patient care. The text also includes two new examples of completed systematic reviews and two
completed proposals.
