Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 8   EBP 1064 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Criterion Six — Current Within Five Years

Captions available

The idea

An evidence-based guideline has been developed, reviewed or revised within the past five years, with documentation showing it.

In practice

A guideline carrying its revision date and its method.

Where people slip

This is the criterion most guidelines fail first, and it fails silently — an out-of-date guideline reads exactly like a current one.
