Dr. Annette Bourgault is an Associate Professor at the University of Central Florida, editor for Critical Care Nurse, a journal of the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN), and research scientist with Orlando Health. In addition to focusing on the implementation of evidence-based practices by critical care nurses and verification of feeding tube placement, she has expanded her program of research to explore factors that influence tradition-based practices. De-implementation of tradition-based practices is a developing area of interest in dissemination and implementation research. Her ultimate goal is to help nurses in acute and critical care settings incorporate research evidence into their clinical practice.<\/p>\n
