The latest, 2014 edition, of Putting Evidence Into Practice (PEP) is now available through the MSK Library.

ONS PEP resources are designed to provide evidence-based interventions for patient care and teaching. PEP topic teams of nurse scientists, advanced practice nurses, and staff nurses summarize and synthesize the available evidence in PEP topic areas. These resources can be used to plan individual patient care, patient education, nursing education, quality improvement, and research.

This new PEP guide for clinicians – which features contributions from MSK’s Angela Adames – contains updates and revisions to all 19 symptom management topics that were collected in the previous two volumes of Putting Evidence Into Practice. This guide provides a quick reference to help clinicians identify which interventions have demonstrated effectiveness against common symptoms based on current evidence.

Putting Evidence Into Practice can be accessed through our eBook A-Z Listing or through Tri-Cat, the library catalog.
