Evidence-Based Practice
for Operational Readiness

TSNRP funded this evidence-based practice (EBP) project titled Developing an Evidence-Based Joint Military Nursing Professional Practice Model (Grant#11052- N21-17). The National Defense Authorization Act 702 of 2017 mandates the transfer of the administration of Service-specific Military Treatment Facilities to the Defense Health Agency. This transition created an opportunity to develop a joint professional practice model (JPPM), outlined in these videos, that will shape Joint Service nursing care. The JPPM outlines standards for each component of the model: Operational Readiness, Quality & Safety, EBP, Healthy Work Environment, and Leadership.
