Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 1   EBP 0018 short lesson, about 20 seconds

The Research–Practice Gap

Captions available

The idea

There is a documented gap of years between evidence being published and its being used in practice.

In practice

A supported practice still not routine long after the evidence appeared.

Where people slip

The gap is measured, not asserted. It is a finding about healthcare, not a complaint about it.
