Study Notes
Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) and Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)
- EBM/EBP is an approach to healthcare that integrates best research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient values to make informed decisions
- It aims to provide high-quality, patient-centered care and improve health outcomes
Clinical Expertise in EBM
- Clinical expertise involves the ability to use clinical skills and past experience to rapidly identify each patient's unique health state and diagnosis
- It is a critical component of EBM, as it helps healthcare professionals to apply research evidence to individual patients
Steps in the Process of Evidence-Based Medicine
- The second step in the EBM process is to formulate a well-built question or problem statement, which helps to clarify the clinical issue and guide the search for evidence
The Foundation for Physical Therapy
- The Foundation supports three key areas: research grants, scholarships, and fellowships to advance the physical therapy profession
- Established to improve the quality and delivery of physical therapy services, the Foundation provides resources to support innovative research and education initiatives in physical therapy
