Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 1   EBP 0022 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Practices Without Evidence Persist

Captions available

The idea

Many practices are carried out routinely without evidence supporting them, and some persist despite evidence of adverse outcomes.

In practice

Routine observations taken on a fixed schedule with nothing in the literature supporting that interval.

Where people slip

Reported here as findings about practice in general, not as instructions about any particular procedure named.
