“Nothing without me” is a great aphorism on how to evolve practical, competent clinical care in regards to the patients best interest. Evidence Based Practice must align with many principles of ethical rights of patients. Autonomy, beneficence, and justice immediately come to mind when reflecting on Dr. Berwick’s statement. The patient’s ethical rights must first be considered when starting the practice, without patients we are nothing. However, without the patient or the nurse, the system does not go forward. We are both symbiotically needed to evolve the future of medicine and without another half of the partnership, the true awesomeness of evidence-based care will fail. The vision of evidence-based practice is how to transform the future
