Unit-Based Report Cards to Bridge Classroom and Clinical Practice for EBP and QI
Update: 2025-08-06
Description
Nurse educators often face challenges in highlighting the clinical relevance of evidence-based practice (EBP) and quality improvement (QI) in undergraduate nursing courses. To address this, faculty collaborated with clinical partners to create a novel strategy aimed at bridging the gap between classroom learning and clinical application. Students used unit-based report cards for a fictional hospital, EBP General Hospital, modeled after real-world trends in patient outcomes established within the partnering academic hospital. Report cards were created for distinct units and emphasized trends of nurse-sensitive indicators. Bryce Catarelli, Jamie Dees, and Akela Edwards describe this teaching strategy in this podcast and article.
