Based Practice Evolves From The Integration Of The Best Research Evidence With Clinical Expe Rtise
And Patient Needs And Values. Studies That Attempt To Find Determinants Of Patient Outc Omes
Are Generally Experimental Or Quasi-
Experimental. They May Be Used To Guide EBP But Do Not Completely Define It. EBP Is A Co
Mbination Of Guidelines And Specific Patient Needs And Values. Quantitative And Qualitative Studies
Applied To The Evaluation Of Patient Outcomes Are Part Of EBP But Do Not Completel Y Define
EBP.
