**Introduction**
Evidence-based practice is a key skill in the toolkit of the master's-prepared nurse. Its goal is that health care practitioners use the best available evidence to improve population health outcomes and make the best clinical decisions (Gallagher et al., 2020). In essence, evidence-based practice is all about ensuring quality care.
For this assessment will begin to apply some of the evidence-based practice strategies you have learned to ensure quality care for an individual patient. The primary strategy that you will utilize to accomplish this is an evidence-based patient-centered needs assessment. A patient-centered needs assessment can help you organize the relationships between ideas, challenges, or terms to utilize the best evidence to plan interventions. The overall goal of the resources and this assessment is to allow you the opportunity to apply evidence-based practice and personalized care concepts in order to improve the health of a single patient.

**Professional Context**
Patient-centered needs assessment is a critical element in nursing care. The findings from the needs assessment can be effective tools for organizing a plan of action, prioritizing patient care strategies, and developing personalized care approaches that improve patient engagement. In addition to organizing care, they can aid in ensuring that the patient's care is individualized to their health conditions as well as familial, cultural, and environmental circumstances.
**Scenario**
The purpose of a needs assessment is to identify priorities of a community or patient population. The findings of a needs assessment can be an extremely useful tool to help organize and plan care decisions for a specific patient or group. By conducting a needs assessment, a nurse can then use the best evidence to guide the interventions selected to meet the identified needs and improve patient engagement.
