Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 3   EBP 0321 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Journals Are the Entry Point

Captions available

The idea

The journal literature is where new ideas first enter the healthcare knowledge base, and the usual source of an answer to a foreground question.

In practice

A finding reported in a journal years before it reaches a textbook.

Where people slip

First is not settled. A single new journal article is where evidence starts, not where it concludes.
