We are constantly pressing this notion of "Evidence-Based Practice" or "Evidence-Informed Medicine" or any other quirky title they decide to give it. But what do we mean by EBP and how do we apply it into practice?
To integrate the use of EBP within clinical practice, we need to understand the what's, why's and how's of research. We know we can use findings from published research to justify our choice of diagnostic or treatment methods but we need to be able to critically appraise the research methods in order to inform our practice.
This excellent text provides a guide to locating relevant evidence, exploring descriptive and inferential stats and aspects of EBP including epidemiology, assessment and diagnosis, treatment and
pharmaceuticals.
