One of the strongest and most far-reaching current trends in health care is the application of evidence - based practice through the development of research and information technology/informatics. This trend is visible across all sectors of nursing, including practice, education, research, and administration. The rationale behind this trend is to improve client care by selecting best practice options grounded in viable research, and to expand the theoretical foundations of all health professions. The ultimate goal is to shift health care decisions, choices, and actions to a “higher”, more scientific, research and theoretically-based level
