The document discusses evidence-based practice (EBP) and the Quadruple Aim in healthcare. It provides an overview of the increased focus on EBP since the Affordable Care Act required empirical evidence. It also introduces the Quadruple Aim, which aims to improve patient experience, improve population health, reduce costs, and improve provider work life and satisfaction. The assignment asks students to explore a healthcare organization's website to analyze the extent to which EBP is evident and supported by current sources.
