Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 11   EBP 1514 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Competency — Evaluation and Synthesis

Captions available

The idea

Beyond appraising individual studies, the competencies require evaluating and synthesising a body of evidence into what it collectively supports.

In practice

Nine keeper studies tabled and read as one body rather than nine.

Where people slip

Appraisal and synthesis are separate competencies. A clinician can judge each study soundly and never form a conclusion from them.
