Conceptual Framework: The Academic Center for Evidence‐based Practice (ACE) Star Model was used to implement an evidence‐based clinical practice guideline (CPG) in order to decrease ventilator‐associated pneumonia (VAP) incidence rates and ventilator days. The goal was to interrupt person‐to‐person transmission of bacteria and bacterial colonization using low‐cost, evidence‐based strategies to prevent VAP.
