EBP?

EBP is a systematic approach to practice that emphasizes the use of best evidence in combination with the
7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a




clinicians experience, as well as patient preferences and values, when making decisions about care and
7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a 7a




treatment. EBP is more than simply using the best practice techniques to treat patients, and questioning

tradition is important when no compelling and supportive research evidence exists.
