EBP Flashcards
the conscientious, explicit, and judicious, use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients.
EBP
integrating individual clinical expertise with the best available external clinical evidence from systematic research
EBP
3 components of EBP
External Evidence
Patient preference
Clinical expertise
the process of applying current, best evidence (external and internal scientific evidence), patient perspective, and clinical expertise to make decisions about the care of the individuals you treat.
EBP
provides us with the context so what are we working around to help
facilitate their improvements.
Client perspective
add on our experience towards the decision making process
Clinical expertise
The knowledge, judgment, and critical reasoning acquired through your training and professional experiences
Clinical Expertise/Expert Opinion
The best available information gathered from the scientific literature
Evidence
We cannot say that “Oh, I’ve been practicing for 20 years, then I’m correct” so I need to have a basis to say why I’m correct.
Practitioners cannot defend health care delivery based on intuition
You have to first identify the problem, then gather information, then develop a hypothesis, from that hypothesis you do experimentation, then you make conclusions based on the results. This is very similar to the process of EBP.
Evidence-based medicine based on scientific method
T or F: Includes literature review & Clinical activities must be justified and supported by clinical evidence
True
T or F Consider client preferences before clinician preferences whenever it is possible to do so
True
Steps in the EBP Process
1) Formulate a foreground question
2) Find best evidence with which to answer the
question
3) Critically appraise the evidence
4) Apply evidence to clinical practice
5) Evaluate the e ects of the intervention
PICO framework
Patient or Problem
Intervention
Comparison of intervention
Outcome of interest
what are the characteristics and/or condition of the group? This may include specific diagnoses, ages, or severity levels
Population
what is the screening assessment, treatment, or service delivery model that you are considering
