This session will highlight the distinct capacity of evidence-based DNPs to provide leadership in healthcare settings and communities, deliver sustainable change towards best outcomes, and lead the transformation of healthcare. The presentation will be both an overview of the potential of evidence-based DNPs, but will also include presentations by ASU DNP graduates practicing in a variety of complex settings. Their experiences and impressions of delivering evidence-based care will be discussed.  This portion of the session will focus on DNP clinical experts living the EBP paradigm. DNP projects will be shared to demonstrate the impact of weaving EBP on daily decision making and outcomes.
