This article provides an excellent introduction to the planning process needed to operationalize an EBP project. After reading the article, reflect on the EBP project in which you are interested. Would you be interested in putting this project into clinical practice? List two factors the article authors have identified as facilitators in the completion of an EBP project. Why are these positive influences? Are these 2 factors present in your workplace environment? Do you think these two factors would carry this project to the end? Why or why not? Now list two factors which would result in challenges for operationalizing your EBP project. Why do you see these as negative factors? What strategies could you use to combat these challenges?
