Book excerpt: Since 2006, the highly-successful ONS Putting Evidence Into Practice (PEP) cards have helped thousands of oncology nurses worldwide implement evidence-based interventions into their practice, improving nursing-sensitive patient outcomes. Now, the ONS PEP resources have been collected into one volume. Not only does this new book include the updated PEP resources (volumes 1-4), but you will gain access to assessment and measurement tools as well as ideas for patient care and organizational use and case studies to illustrate the application of tools. Nurses can utilize the measurement tools and references to begin to measure application of interventions in practice, helping to document the impact of nursing interventions on patient outcomes and, ultimately, leading to improved patient satisfaction, recognition of a professional approach to care, and optimal patient outcomes. This new book places all the PEP resources at your fingertips, providing you with a comprehensive resource you can use to guide your daily practice. At this time, there are no plans to make available printed versions of the updated PEP cards outside the contents of this new book, so you'll want to order your copy so you will not miss the updated information!
