NACNS established a partnership with the Helene Fuld Health Trust National Institute for Evidence-based Practice in Nursing and Healthcare (referred to as Fuld EBP Institute) at The Ohio State University (OSU).

The purpose of the Center is to increase NACNS members’ expertise in and leadership for implementation science. The Center is positioning CNSs as the leaders in implementation of science for nursing and clinical care within healthcare systems. 

By partnering with Fuld EBP Institute, NACNS can strengthen members’ expertise in evidence-based practice and provide new knowledge and skills in driving sustainable change. Creating a Center for Implementation Science within NACNS further validates CNS practice as central to improving clinical and fiscal outcomes in healthcare systems.
