DESCRIPTION OF ACE
ACE © March 2004

THE CENTER OF EXCELLENCE

The Academic Center for Evidence-Based Practice (ACE) was established as a center of excellence for The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio in January 2000. ACE is dedicated to bridging research into practice. This is accomplished through collaboration with the South Texas Veterans Health Care System in San Antonio center of excellence, VERDICT, as well as national and international entities such as the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the Cochrane Collaboration.

The purpose of this Center is to advance cutting edge, state-of-the-art evidence-based practice, research, and education within an interdisciplinary context. The goal is to turn research into action, improving health care and patient outcomes in the community, through evidence-based practice (EBP), research, and education, in a manner consistent with the high standards of the School of Nursing and the Health Science Center. The objectives of the Center are to:

• Define roles in evidence synthesis, translation, dissemination, and implementation
• Furnish a venue for interdisciplinary evidence-based methods and practice
• Facilitate transfer of knowledge to nursing and health care practice
• Encourage, facilitate, coordinate, and conduct research and interdisciplinary investigations in the field of evidence-based practice
• Provide education in evidence-based practice through undergraduate,  graduate, postdoctoral, and continuing education programs.
