National and international experts in evidence-based practice (EBP) will share information related to improving healthcare and patient safety through scientifically proven best practices. Based on the success at last year’s conference, the Summer Institutes on Quality Improvement will provide the opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to attend a special student program in conjunction with the conference. 

“Reaching out to students is the next step in preparing our workforce; by educating students upstream on the principles of evidence-based quality improvement, we assure a future of excellent healthcare,” said ACE Director (and INQRI grantee) Kathleen R. Stevens, RN, EdD, ANEF, FAAN, professor in the School of Nursing’s Department of Health Restoration and Care Systems Management. “They are our future healthcare providers and providing them with the tools to incorporate research evidence into clinical care is critical in improving patient care and safety on a continuing basis.”
