Effectiveness of an online training course to improve evidence-based leadership practices among unit leaders: study protocol for a cluster randomised two-arm controlled trial (EVILEAD)
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the effectiveness of an online course on evidence-based knowledge using a full cluster randomised study. By applying evidence-based practices, unit leaders can ensure that clinical decisions are grounded in the latest study results, which will lead to more effective decision-making.
