Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 1   EBP 0020 short lesson, about 20 seconds

The 2020 Goal That Was Missed

Captions available

The idea

A national roundtable set the goal that by 2020, 90% of clinical decisions would be supported by accurate, timely, up-to-date evidence. As of early 2022 it had not been met.

In practice

A target set, a date passed, and the gap still measured in years.

Where people slip

Taught as dated history with its outcome attached. A goal quoted without its result reads as a current aim.
