Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 14   EBP 1961 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Preferences, Explored for Their Origins

Captions available

The idea

The model admits patient preferences as evidence when they have been well explored for their origins, distinguishing them from preferences resting on ill-informed information.

In practice

A preference examined for what it is based on, and honoured.

Where people slip

This is not a licence to overrule a patient. It asks what a preference rests on, which is often how a clinician learns what to explain.
