Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 4   EBP 0488 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Evidence-Based Decision Making

Captions available

The idea

Evidence-based decision making is the act the whole process exists for: combining the knowledge sources to decide what to do for this patient.

In practice

A choice made from a synthesis, this clinician's assessment, and this patient's stated preference.

Where people slip

The process is not the point. A perfectly appraised body of evidence that changes no decision has produced nothing.

Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
