This project (EICP) consists of 4 members, from Germany (Applicant organisation), Czech Republic, Croatia and Poland, who are key Europen stakeholders in Evidence-Based Healthcare (EBHC) in these countries. It is a combination of partners from universities who are focused on EBHC. The project members made initial contact thanks to the EVBRES Cost Action, Joanna Briggs Collaboration and Cochrane Collaboration which are not-for-profit organizations and European COST action and some project partners are members of this collaboration and COST Action.The EICP project was developed to address the needs of improving the skills and qualifications of European project partners in EBHC and critical thinking, especially in the implementation and utilization of evidence in healthcare clinical practice. The core idea of the project is to support cooperation and exchange of know-how within the unique Evidence Implementation Training Programme (EITP) context. Based on the current situation, there is not a completely established educational programme which is focused on evidence implementation into practice in Europe. This means that professionals in healthcare across Europe need to improve their experience and skills with the implementation of the research evidence into their practice. It is especially important in this era when praxis in some healthcare fields lags more than twenty years behind science. Critical thinking is a crucially important part of EHBC in our information era where is every year published in the PubMed, which is one of the relevant healthcare databases more than a million new publications yearly. The coordinator of this project from Germany is totally into the process of evidence-based research and Dissemination and implementation in different stakeholder groups, the Partner from Czech republic is one of the few institutions in Europe who has trainers qualified to deliver the unique EITP which was developed by experts from the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI), Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Adelaide, Australia. JBI is a world leader in the field of EBHC towards evidence implementation, having developed the unique EITP.The key objective of this project is to decrease the gap between research and practice in healthcare and support international cooperation of professionals in healthcare. The project aims to support the development, transfer and implementation of innovative practice.The main direct impact of the project will be on the project participants enhancement of professional skills, enhancement of academics, social and economic benefits, and networking. The indirect impact will be provided by the Best Practice Implementation Projects (BPIPs), which have a significant potential to innovate current healthcare practice and thus to maintain the more effective and cost-effective practice, which will benefit patients/consumers and reduce the redundant economic burden of healthcare. To disseminate the project outcomes, a Dissemination plan will be implemented. The plan will comprise four different lines of actions: educational dissemination, clinical dissemination, online dissemination /internet/, and press and it will give clear measures and priorities of how to spread the findings and results elaborated by the project to the target public (local, regional, national, European and international). One of the important outcomes of the project will be to develop closer cooperation among European EBHC into strong European consortia, to disseminate and implement EBHC in terms of evidence implementation into practice.
