Evidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the best research evidence with clinical t t t t t t t t t t t t
expertise and patient needs and values. Studies that attempt to find determinants of patient
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
outcomes are generally experimental or quasi-experimental. They may be used to guide EBP
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
but do not completely define it. EBP is a combination of guidelines and specific patient needs
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
and values. Quantitative and qualitative studies applied to the evaluation of patient outcomes
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
are part of EBP but do not completely define EBP.
