This article presents a program evaluation study involving 18 health system leaders who use Ovid Synthesis, a web-based workflow solution for evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and research initiatives. The findings demonstrate the critical prioritization of standardization, collaboration, dissemination, and patient outcomes in order to successfully implement evidence-based practice (EBP) and how Ovid Synthesis successfully supports these priorities. Significant interest in measuring return on investment underscores the importance of demonstrating the value of EBP, in order to support continued investments in EBP practices.

However, there has not been a recent systematic review of this evidence. This study, therefore, aims to synthesise existing knowledge on the association between SEP across the life course and falls within middle- and older-aged adults.
