      ab: Background: Clinicians face challenges in implementing evidence‐based practices due to limited resources and tools that can support their efforts in translating evidence into practice. To address this, JBI developed PACES (Practical Application of Clinical Evidence System), an online tool designed to streamline and support evidence implementation and quality improvement projects. Objectives: This paper reports the development of JBI‐PACES and presents an evaluation of its usability (usefulness, satisfaction, ease of use) and user recommendations for improvements. Methods: PACES was developed based on the integration of the Donabedian perspective on quality improvement and JBI's process model for evidence implementation, which incorporates context evaluation, facilitation of change, and the evaluation of both process and outcomes. Initially launched in 2004, the system underwent multiple enhancements based on informal user feedback from 2007 to 2017. A significant update, version 0.0.23 Build 1, was re‐launched in late 2018. To evaluate its usability, we conducted a cross‐sectional study using the Post‐Study System Usability Questionnaire (PSSUQ), which also gathered qualitative feedback. Results: PACES supports evidence implementation by allowing users to conduct audits across multiple sites and over time, enabling data comparisons and insights into clinical practices. Findings from the usability evaluation showed high levels of satisfaction with the system's usefulness and ease of use. However, qualitative data indicated areas where further enhancements could optimize user experience and functionality. Linking Evidence to Practice: The current study suggests clear benefits of PACES in terms of its utility and value for supporting evidence‐based practices. Although the system performs well in usability, ongoing refinements are necessary to optimize user experience and ensure the tool continues to meet the evolving needs of healthcare professionals.
