Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to identify factors which may either hinder or facilitate the adoption of
EBMgt among U.S. healthcare administrators. A cross-sectional, descriptive, non-experimental study was conducted, using a two-stage cluster sampling. The study results showed a statistically significant
relationship between the availability of access to EBMgt information resources and intention to the
adoption of EBMgt rs = .490, n = 152, p < .001 and creating an EBMgt culture and intention rs = .544, n = 152, p < .001. The top four barriers to the adoption of EBMgt were lack of time, lack of training,
unfamiliarity with EBMgt, and lack of skills in appraising quality of evidence. It is suggested that
creating an EBMgt culture, providing organizational support, access to EBMgt information resources,
and training facilitate the adoption of EBMgt practice among the U.S. healthcare leaders.
