“What health care needs most are effective leaders who
understand innovation and how it spreads, who respect the
diversity of change itself, and who can nurture innovation in all its
rich and many costumes” (Hyrkäs & Harvey, 2010, p. 1).
As a nurse engaged in advanced practice, you are uniquely
positioned to motivate your colleagues and contribute toward the
development of a culture that embraces change. Yet, even with
the worthwhile goal of translating evidence into practice, barriers
present a formidable challenge in many settings in today’s health
care system.
This week you examine barriers that may inhibit the adoption and

create an environment that facilitates practice grounded in
evidence and, ultimately, to promote the achievement of
outcomes related to quality and safety.
In addition, you continue your practicum experience and begin
