Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 5 EBP 0633 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Captions available
The idea
A body of external evidence supporting a conclusion cannot be the sole source of information that makes that conclusion clinically meaningful. Clinician expertise and patient-valued preferences matter too.
In practice
A well-supported conclusion that means nothing for a patient it does not fit.
Where people slip
This is the assumption most often violated by people doing everything else right.
