Building the case for change: How NPD leaders scale EBP

Start your morning with insights from NPD leaders Amy Hu, DNP, RN, NPD-BC, CCRN-K, and Melissa Gorman, RN, MSN, as they share how their organizations advance evidence-based practice (EBP) at scale.

Join us for a one-hour breakfast session exploring how NPD leaders can build the case for change, strengthen clinician confidence, and gain executive support for sustainable EBP and research efforts. Hear how teams at John Muir Health and Shriners Children’s moved from vision to action through strategic technology adoption.

Our presenters will walk through their roles in assessing organizational needs, guiding EBP and research councils, and aligning initiatives with system priorities. They’ll also share their innovation journey—from stakeholder engagement and ROI development to funding approval and implementation planning.

Participants will take away real-world lessons, including improvements in clinician engagement, efficiency, and long-term sustainability. The session will conclude with a live demonstration of Ovid Synthesis, highlighting how a guided, collaborative platform accelerates and celebrates evidence-based practice across diverse care settings.
