The Stetler Model of Evidence-Based Practice outlines a five-step process to actualize a desired change. The process is fluid, meaning the practitioner may need to move back and forth between steps to reexamine or amend previous findings. This model is practitioner friendly due and can be applied to individual patients.
The Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice to Promote Quality Care also uses a multi-step process but involves the forming of a team and a pilot program to evaluate a desired change on a broader scale. This model is better suited for the institution as it provides guidance through the implementation process to guide organizational practice changes. It involves the creation of an interdisciplinary team for the implementation and evaluation of the project (Mitchell, Fisher, Hastings, Silverman, & Wallen, 2010).
