Introduction[edit | edit source]
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is an integral part of healthcare and has become a key part of clinical training, research and rehabilitation practices. It is a problem-based approach where research evidence is applied to clinical reasoning and decision-making.[1] Each element of the evidence-based practice model is important - it is imperative to realise that these concepts are to be applied together rather than divided into parts or categories to justify a clinical decision.[1] Hoffman
The definition of evidence-based practice has evolved over time. Along with the integration of research, clinical expertise and patient values and circumstances, it is also necessary for the healthcare professional "to consider characteristics of the local and broader practice context.”[1] Thus, it is not only about the research but also about the skills, education and experience of a clinician as well as the patient and their values, circumstances, preferences and clinical status. Furthermore, the clinician needs to consider the availability of resources, policies, and cultural and socioeconomic factors in the decision-making process. Hoffman et al.[1] explain this eloquently: “This requires judgment and artistry, as well as science and logic.”
Since then, various models and frameworks have been proposed in the healthcare setting that apply to more fields than just medicine.[3]
Review of the Evidence-Based Practice Steps[edit | edit source]
Step 1: Determining the patient’s needs to formulate a clinical question
You can review this step here: Evidence-Based Practice and Patient Needs
Make use of the PICOT mnemonic to formulate your clinical question:
P (Patient / Population) | I (Intervention) | C (Comparator) | O (Outcome) | T (Type) |
---|
Step 2: Locating the knowledge resources
Step 3: Appraising the quality of the knowledge resources
Step 4: Discussing the options with the patient
Step 5: Formulating the treatment plan
Step 6: Implementing the treatment plan
Step 7: Evaluating the effectiveness of the treatment plan and the evidence-based practice process
Evidence based practice steps- link to steps
Making Evidence Based Practice Part of Your Life
Implementing evidence-based practice
Get the skills – you know best where you lack the necessary skills
Make time – time is a big barrier to EBP – Try and overcome this barrier in a creative and innovative way that works for you
Remind yourself of the evidence-based practice process – put it up where you can see it daily, make it a habit
Live evidence-based practice – find opportunities to share the evidence-based practice model with others
Empowering Others
Share what you have learned with others. Here are some examples of ways to do this:
Organise journal clubs or case discussions
Join in these if they already exist at your specific setting
Actively contribute to these sessions
If there are no journal clubs – start one – be the change. It can be online or in-person
Write blog posts
Suggestions for blog posts:
Share some of the valuable website that you discovered
What have you learned from the EBP process
Highlight how you followed the EBP process with a specific case
Share some of the new skills that you gained
Make videos
Find platforms where you can be interviewed, record techniques, share outcome measures, showcase the brilliant new skills that you acquired
Podcasts
Contribute to podcasts as an expert or as an interviewer
Contribute to courses – webinars, partner with organisations or associations and share your knowledge
Publish case studies
