EBP (Evidence Based Practice) EXAM STUDY
NOTES COMPLETE AND RATED A.
CH 1
EBP was becoming known as a framework for answering __________
clinical questions by evaluating and incorporating the best clinical knowledge
related to the patient's state, the clinical setting, and clinical circumstances present
EPB process:
begins with clinical questions (find best practice), appraisal of the evidence,
application of the evidence (validity and applicability to a particular care situation)
considering the client's wishes and needs, and finishing with an evaluation of the
clinical outcomes
The basis of EBP is ______
knowing one's own limitations and when to look for help
Four steps of EBP:
questioning
searching
evaluating
implementing
should be used in a constant cycle for the dedicated practitioner of EBP
The goal of EBP is to _______
create strategies and tools for practitioners to access, understand, and use the latest
research knowledge to improve services for clients
What stops practitioners from incorporating EBP into current clinical practice?
1. design of studies (RCT and meta-analysis are best)
2. presentation of evidence (language)
3. lack of time and resources
,Myths vs Reality
1: EBP already exists ----> many practitioners take little to no time to review
current medical findings
2. EBP is impossible to put into place ----> even extremely busy practitioners can
initiate EBP through little work
3. EBP is cookie-cutter medicine ----> EBP requires extensive clinical expertise
4. EBP is a cost-cutting mechanism ----> EBP emphasizes the best available clinical
evidence for each client's situation
First target misconception
EBP is either already in place or impossible to practice
EBP:
Take-home Messages
There are misunderstandings of EBP because ______
of the way in which it breaks with traditional practice; it should be seen as a
powerful tool, not a burden
EBP maintains a fine balance between ______
clinical expertise and external clinical evidence
EBP is based on an ______
ongoing and self-directed learning model
EBP can support a ______
strongly client-centered approach to rehabilitation
Clinical expertise remains _______ because ________
crucial
knowledgeable practitioners will best implement their findings based on the
evidence
,EBP makes use of the _______
current best methods of treatment
EBR:
Take-home Messages
EBR is an ______
adaptation of the concepts of EBP to rehabilitation practice and necessitates
specific skills that allow clinicians to use evidence within the complex decision
making required for rehabilitation practice
Important concepts of EBR include
awareness
consultation
judgment
creativity
Judgment
the practitioner differentiates between cases about how to apply recommendations
of EBP; tailored to specifics of each client's situation
Consultation
specialized set of skills and knowledge, and the ability to communicate well; the
practitioner works as an educator/service provider
*transparency is one of the most important aspects of health care
*practitioners who are able to clearly explain the practice of EBR to their clients,
how they have found the clinical data they are using and what they are doing with
it, will be the most successful
Awareness
the clinician must be aware of the evidence that has to do with practice and
maintain focused awareness (aka knowledge of where to look)
Creativity
, EBR requires a great deal of creativity and insight to work correctly because the
practice and application of the best available evidence is not always
straightforward
*creativity is essential
CH 2
Knowledge is a ______
collection of ideas and facts about a topic
Evidence is ______
information that makes a conclusion apparent, and it is the accumulation of these
conclusions that leads to new insights
EX: Deinstitutionalization movement
1900 - standard practice to institutionalize persons with disabilities
-people with disabilities can learn and can be members of society and realize their
potential
-people who have different lived experience and unique interests have something
to contribute that no one else can
Evidence-based knowledge serves a _______
generative function in the evolution of information for practice
it invites us to simultaneously gain insight to solve a current problem and see the
dilemmas that are only visible from the next vantage point
3 vantage points for knowledge development
1. individual professional's responsibilities
2. professionals within a discipline
3. professionals across disciplines
1. Individuals professional responsibilities
