• Understanding why a particular evidence based practice (EBP) might be sustained in one setting and not another remains unclear. This review sought to identify existing frameworks/models/theories that focus solely on the sustainability of EBPs in acute care settings. It identified 37 core factors which could be grouped into 7 main themes: innovation, adopters, leadership and management, inner context, inner processes, outer context, and outcomes.
