The Perioperative Patient Focused Model consists of domains or areas of nursing concern: nursing

interventions, and patient outcomes. These domains are in continuous interaction with the health sys

focus of perioperative nursing practice—the patient.

Evidence-based practice is a systematic, thorough process by which to identify an issue, to collect an

evidence to design and implement a practice change, and to evaluate the process.

evidence. Using research to guide practice is called evidence-based practice (EBP).
