Research is one of Vanderbilt University Medical Center's core missions. Perioperative Services supports that mission by participating in research activities and by presenting research/evidence based practice posters and podium presentations at professional conferences. Perioperative Services also supports authors or participates in publishing articles on the work nurses have completed at VUMC in research, evidence based practice, best clinical practices, or case studies. We utilize evidence-based nursing practice in our care, and we support and encourage nurse led research, quality improvement strategies, and participation in professional organizations to advance knowledge and quality of patient care.
