Objective: This study was conducted to determine the benefits, facilitators, and barriers of implementing evidence-based practice (EBP) into organizational culture.

Background: Implementing EBP leads to higher quality of patient outcome care, improved patient outcomes, and decreased healthcare costs. Nurse leader (NL) influence is essential for successful EBP implementation.

Methods: Data were collected using a descriptive qualitative approach with focus group interviews using 2 open-ended questions. Participants included NL attendees at the 2022 Association of California Nurse Leaders Annual Program/Conference. Data were analyzed and themes were identified using Sandelowski's method.

Results: Two overarching themes emerged: capacity (the amount something can produce) and capabilities (the power or ability to do something).

Conclusions: Healthcare organizations need to invest in building NLs' capacity to implement EBP and allocate resources to strengthen the organization's capabilities in supporting EBP.
