Abstract

It has been stated that something can be greater than the sum of its parts. This is the case with the current synergistic advancements in both evidence-based practice (EBP) and health information technology (HIT) at the point of care. Some would claim that EBP is leading the way for more meaningful adoption of HIT. Others will credit the advancements in HIT as the reason EBP is now becoming a reality. The greater opportunity for nurses remains in the ability to thoughtfully and boldly leverage the convergence of both as a catalyst in accelerating support to advance practice and technology at the point of care.
