March 21, 2010, was not EBP’s date of birth, but it may be the date the approach “grew up” and left home to take on the world. When the Affordable Care Act was passed, it came with a requirement of empirical evidence. Research on EBP increased significantly. Application of EBP spread to allied health professions, education, healthcare technology, and more. Health organizations began to adopt and promote EBP. In this Discussion, you will consider this adoption. You will examine healthcare organization websites and analyze to what extent these organizations use EBP. To Prepare: Review the Resources and      reflect on the definition and goal of EBP. Choose a professional      healthcare organization’s website (e.g., a reimbursing body, an accredited      body, or a national initiative). Explore the website to      determine where and to what extent EBP is evident. Post a description of the healthcare organization website you reviewed.  Describe where, if at all, EBP appears (e.g., the mission, vision, philosophy, and/or goals of the healthcare organization, or in other locations on the website).  Then, explain whether this healthcare organization’s work is grounded in EBP and why or why not.  Explain whether the information you discovered on the healthcare organization’s website has changed your perception of the healthcare organization.  Be specific and provide examples. Read the articles by Sikka,      Morath, & Leape (2015); Crabtree, Brennan, Davis, & Coyle (2016);      and Kim et al. (2016) provided in the Resources. Reflect on how EBP might      impact (or not impact) the Quadruple Aim in healthcare. Consider the impact that EBP      may have on factors impacting these quadruple aim elements, such as      preventable medical errors or healthcare delivery.   Melnyk, B. M., & Fineout-Overholt, E.
