The Army Nurse Corps released the Patient CaringTouch System (PCTS) in April, 2011. One task within the initiative of shared accountability, the foundational component of the system, includes the Unit Practice Councils’ development of evidence-based practice (EBP) innovations. In an Army medical treatment facility located in the Southeastern United States, internal assessments demonstrated nursing staff lack understanding of EBP implementation and are not confident in their EBP beliefs. The purpose of this project was to provide EBP education and potentially strengthen nursing staff’s evidence-based practice beliefs.
