TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Understanding Evidence-Based Practice A1 - Portney, Leslie G. PY - 2020 T2 - Foundations of Clinical Research: Applications to Evidence-Based Practice, 4e AB - Evidence-based practice (EBP) is about clinical decision-making—how we find and use information and how we integrate knowledge, experience, and judgment to address clinical problems. EBP requires a mindset that values evidence as an important component of quality care and a skill set in searching the literature, critical appraisal, synthesis, and reasoning to determine the applicability of evidence to current issues. The ultimate goal is to create a culture of inquiry and rigorous evaluation that provides a basis for balancing quality with the uncertainty that is found in practice—all in the effort to improve patient care.
