You are chairing your hospital’s newly created

You are chairing your hospital’s newly created EBP, research, and QI council. One of the units is having an issue with an increase in catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) and wants to address it. The council members have decided all inquiries will start with the EBP process in order to get into the literature and see if a body of evidence exists to address the issue or whether there isn’t a sufficient body of evidence, requiring we move to research. PICOT questions have been formed (Step 1) and now it’s time to use the keywords from the PICOT to search the databases (Step 2). The challenge is your hospital is a small community hospital with no medical library or librarian to help guide you. You are part of a hospital consortium that includes a large, academic medical center and a children’s hospital located in a nearby city, about an hour away from you. There is also a large, state-owned university in that city that has a regional branch in your town. Nursing students from the large university as well as students from a local associate’s degree nursing (ADN) program do clinical rotations at your hospital. One of the group members is currently pursuing his master’s degree at the large university mentioned in the scenario. He has offered to give everyone on the council his library log-in so they can access the university’s library system. Another member suggests using Google to search for evidence. As the chair, how do you respond to each of these members and provide a rationale for your decision?
