Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 8   EBP 1057 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Why Synthesis Is Needed

Captions available

The idea

Overwhelming volumes of evidence, competing clinical priorities and increasing accountability are what make synthesis studies and guidelines necessary.

In practice

A database holding tens of millions of citations, and a clinician with a shift to run.

Where people slip

Guidelines are a response to volume. They do not reduce the evidence; they make it usable.
