Evidence-based practice advocates utilising best current research evidence, while reflecting patient preference and clinical expertise in decision making. Successfully incorporating this evidence into practice is a complex process.

The aim of this study was to identify important potential facilitators to the integration of these pathways into routine clinical practice.Background
