What Is Evidenced-Based Practice?
Clinical Expertise
The knowledge, judgment, and critical reasoning acquired through your training and professional experiences
Evidence
The results from well-designed scientific studies, as well as the data and observations from individual clients
Client and Caregiver Perspectives
The unique personal and cultural circumstances, values, priorities, and expectations of clients and their caregivers
Using evidence-based practice (EBP) ensures my clients receive the highest standard of care.
I am always transparent about my sources, so I have listed them below.
