Evidenced-based practice (EBP) according to Mathieson et al (2019) is not usually considered the best in most organizations since people in those organizations do not care about research evidence. Though, EBP is a research-based practice that has proven effective through rigorous scientific evaluation. However, best practice does not undergo the same evaluation which is the process used in research to validate the effectiveness of the method. Barriers to evidence-based are time and knowledge. Busy clinicians lack time to implement EBP and lack knowledge which includes critiquing and appraising literature. Chipps et al (2020) agree that to overcome barriers stakeholders need to build trust that enables them to learn from experiences and provide input on projects. Administrative support is crucial to get support from to inform and make awareness of projects that used similar implementations. The administration does play a key role in developing an organizational culture that supports EBP. Moreso, changing behavior takes persistence, willingness, perseverance, and working together to ensure the EBP environment will lead to better outcomes for patients and clinicians. A good example of how to overcome the EBP barrier is the incorporation of EBP into curricula of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing the association guides baccalaureate and graduate nursing education, and identified scholarship for EBP. Moreover, the EBP barrier could also be overcome with consistency in terminology that is standard and recognized by individuals and organizations. EBP will be successful when community nurses deem it useful and there is evidence that it could have a positive impact on patients (Matherson et al 2019) Chipps, E., Tucker, S., Labadee, R., Thomas, B., Weber, M., Gallagher-Ford, L., & Melnyk, B.
