Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)

Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is a process of integrating clinical expertise, best current evidence,
and client values to provide high-quality services reflecting the interests, values, needs, and choices
of individuals with communication disorders

EBP is now widely recognized as the key to improving healthcare quality and patient outcomes

The goal of conducting EBP is to utilize current knowledge and connect it with patient preferences
and clinical expertise to standardize and improve care processes and, ultimately, patient outcomes

EBP requires clinicians to review and assess the latest research to make informed, evidence-based
decisions and provide efficient and effective care for patients on a scientific basis

The knowledge gained from evidence-based research in nursing may indicate changing a standard
nursing care policy in practice

There are various examples of evidence-based practice in nursing, such as the use of oxygen to help
with hypoxia and organ failure in patients with COPD, management of angina, protocols regarding
alarm fatigue, recognition of a family member's influence on a patient's presentation of symptoms,
and noninvasive measurement of blood pressure in children

. To initiate and implement EBP into clinical practice, clinicians can follow these steps:

1) ask a clinical question,


2) search for the best available evidence,
3) critically appraise the evidence,
4) integrate the evidence with clinical expertise and patient preferences, and
5) evaluate the outcomes of the decision or intervention

What are the steps involved in implementing evidence-based practice


The implementation of Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) involves a series of steps that clinicians can
follow to make informed, evidence-based decisions and provide efficient and effective care for
patients.
The following are the steps involved in implementing EBP:
 Frame your clinical question: Identify the problem or issue that needs to be addressed and
formulate a clear and concise clinical question.
 Gather evidence: Conduct a systematic search for the best available evidence that can
answer your clinical question.
 Assess the evidence: Critically appraise the evidence to determine its validity, relevance, and
applicability to your clinical question.
 Make your clinical decision: Integrate the evidence with clinical expertise and patient
preferences to make an informed clinical decision.
 Evaluate the outcome: Evaluate the outcomes of the decision or intervention to determine
its effectiveness and make necessary adjustments.

Implementing EBP is a complex, nonlinear process that requires multifaceted


implementation strategies to promote the use of research evidence in clinical decision-
making.
