Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 8 EBP 1062 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Criterion Four — Benefits, Harms and Alternatives
Captions available
The idea
An evidence-based guideline assesses the benefits and harms of the recommended care and of the alternative options.
In practice
A recommendation set beside what would happen under the alternatives.
Where people slip
Alternatives are the part usually missing. A recommendation with no comparator has not been shown to be better than anything.
