    This document defines evidence-based practice and outlines its importance. It discusses how EBP involves integrating the best available external evidence from systematic research with clinical expertise and patient preferences/goals. The document also describes the 5 steps of the EBP process, from identifying an information need to evaluating the process. Finally, it notes some common barriers to implementing EBP, such as a lack of skills/knowledge and limited resources.

    Some of the key takeaways from the document are that evidence-based practice involves integrating clinical expertise, patient preferences, and the highest quality research evidence to make informed clinical decisions. It aims to improve client outcomes and clinicians' knowledge.

    The steps involved in evidence-based practice are: 1) Identifying the information need and forming a clinical question, 2) Finding the evidence, 3) Appraising the evidence, 4) Integrating the evidence in clinical decision making, and 5) Evaluating the process.

    Some of the barriers to implementing evidence-based practice mentioned are lack of knowledge and skills for EBP, lack of fit with existing agency practices, suspicion of researchers and EBP, and limited resources for conducting EBP.

    vEvidence based practice by contrast
    begins with a search for information
    about how best to solve specific practice

    the best available research evidence and

    ( Polit & Beck , 2003 )


     Evidence based practice is one useful
    approach to improve the impact of practice
    in medicine, psychology, social work,
    nursing and allied fields.

     The aim of EBP from its’ early days in the


    form of evidence based medicine was to
    provide the appropriate means for making
    effective clinical decisions, for avoiding
    habitual practice and for enhancing
    clinical performance 
    Definition of EBP
    ‘The conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of
    current best evidence in making decisions about the
    care of individual patients.’(Sackett, D. L., Rosenberg, W. M., Gray, J.
    A., Haynes, R. B., & Richardson, W. S. (1996).

    "Evidence-based practice (EBP) is an approach to


    health care where in health professionals use the best
    evidence possible, the most appropriate information
    available, to make clinical decisions for individual
    patients. EBP values, enhances and builds on clinical
    expertise, knowledge of disease mechanisms, and
    pathophysiology. (McKibbon KA (1998).
    Evidence-based practice is the integration
    of:

     clinical expertise
    with the best available external evidence from
    systematic research and
    P Patients’ preferences and goals
    (Sackett, D. L., Straus, S. E., Richardson, W. S., Rosenberg, W., & Haynes, R. B. (2000).
    Why is EBP important?

    Ø Main aim is to improve client outcomes


    Ø Clients expect it
    Ø Improves clinician’s knowledge
    Ø Communicates a profession’s research base
    Ø Stimulates clinically relevant research
    ØAccountability
    EBP: The Process

    1. Identify the information need


    & form a clinical question
    2. Find the evidence
    3. Appraise the evidence
    4. Integrate the evidence in
    clinical decision making
    5. Evaluate the process

    Barriers to Implementation EBP

    üLack of Knowledge & Skills for EBP


    üLack of Knowledge Fit to Agency Practice
    üSuspicion of Researchers & EBP
    üLimited Resource for Doing EBP
    Summary

    üEBP is a process for making informed


    clinical decisions
    üEBP is about USING research - not doing it
    üEBP involves clinical reasoning to
    integrate:
    üclinical experience
    üclients’ preferences
    üq highest quality evidence available (both
    quantitative and qualitative)
