Abstract

Objective: To propose a theoretical-empirical model for Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) among hospital nurses, integrating organizational, educational, and business strategy dimensions. Method: As per a practical case report, the model was developed through the analytical integration of initiatives implemented in a teaching hospital of the Brazilian Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde). This was achieved by synthesizing international models (i-PARIHS; ARCC; The Tyler Collaborative Model; The Research Appreciation, Accessibility and Application Model). Results: The resulting "Conciliation Model" comprises four dimensions and ten steps: recognizing problems and opportunities; mobilizing forces for change; legitimizing the process; evaluating and disseminating. It includes the measurement of return and value of investment for evidence-based practice projects. A simulated case illustrates its application, demonstrating projections for nurses in the hospital setting. Conclusion: This case report aligns scientific evidence, management, and financial sustainability. It addresses a critical gap in the literature, especially in the Global South, where there is a lack of contextualized models for evidence-based practice in hospital care.
