Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 8 EBP 1080 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Attribute Three — Clinical Applicability
Captions available
The idea
A guideline is clinically applicable when the patients it covers are stated explicitly enough for a clinician to know whether it reaches theirs.
In practice
A guideline naming the population it applies to.
Where people slip
A guideline that does not state its population leaves the applicability judgement entirely to the reader, without the information for it.
