Scientific Inquiry at the Heart of Our Nursing Practice
At Montefiore Einstein, nursing research is embedded in our culture of excellence. Rooted in our legacy as a research-driven academic health system, nurses at Montefiore Einstein transform clinical questions into research breakthroughs that directly benefit your care.
Through our robust Nursing Research and Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Program, we support nurses at every stage of scientific inquiry. Using advanced frameworks like the IOWA Model and cutting-edge tools like Ovid® Synthesis, our teams translate evidence into safer procedures, more effective treatments, and improved outcomes you experience firsthand.
We invest deeply in professional development, offering academic advancement opportunities, research mentorship, and structured EBP programs to ensure nurses at all levels are prepared to lead scholarly initiatives. Through mentorship, publication, and the sharing of findings, our nurses fuel a continuous cycle of improvement, innovation, and professional pride.

Sharing Research, Shaping Practice
Montefiore Einstein nurses are nationally recognized voices and global leaders in nursing science, advancing practice through discovery and dissemination.
- National Impact: Our nurses are consistently selected to present at prestigious gatherings, including the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) Magnet® & Pathway™ Conference, the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) Congress, and the American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses (ASPAN). Through podium and poster presentations, they share pioneering initiatives in oncology, stroke care, critical care, population health, and more.
- Local Scholarship: Our Annual Nursing Research & Evidence-Based Practice Symposium has drawn clinicians across the region for more than a decade, creating a platform where new ideas become best practices that improve care in the Bronx and beyond.
- Global Reach: Montefiore Einstein nursing research extends beyond our walls through collaborations with international consortia and publication in peer-reviewed journals, underscoring our role as pioneers in urban health innovation.
Mentorship Driving Patient Solutions
Every research project begins with a simple question: How can we make care better for our patients? Dedicated mentors work alongside nurses to transform those questions into evidence-based solutions that improve safety, comfort, and outcomes. They help shape clinical inquiries, review evidence, design studies, and share results—ensuring every project leads to meaningful change.
Through this hands-on mentorship, nurses learn to:
- Frame meaningful clinical questions using models like the PICO question framework
- Conduct literature reviews to identify true knowledge gaps
- Design and launch research studies using system-wide data analytics
- Present and publish findings to drive broader change
This structured support has led to studies that reduce hospital-acquired infections, improve discharge education, and inform national policy. Our commitment ensures that curiosity becomes action, and action becomes transformation.
Leading the Next Era of Nurse-Driven Informatics
At Montefiore Einstein, nursing informatics is transforming the way we deliver care and empowering nurses to combine clinical expertise with cutting-edge digital tools to improve patient outcomes, streamline workflows, and drive evidence-based practice. By integrating technology seamlessly into the care environment, we ensure that data becomes a powerful ally in supporting both patients and providers.
A nurse-led Informatics Council serves as a dynamic forum where frontline clinicians shape digital strategy, prioritize usability, and champion interoperability. Because the Council is composed of practicing nurses, which ensures that informatics initiatives are grounded in clinical reality and driven by the needs of patients and providers.
