A1 - Gwyer, Jan Y1 - 2013 N1 - T2 - Evidence into Practice: Integrating Judgment, Values, and Research AB - Clinical judgment has always been a guide for good practitioners. Before physical therapists were able to use theoretically grounded and methodologically tested research hypotheses that provided scientifically sound evidence to guide clinical decision making, they sought guidance from well-developed practice knowledge and clinical reasoning. When good practitioners attempted new interventions, they carefully observed the situation and could recall successes and failures. Studies of expertise in physical therapy have helped us understand this important element in evidence based practice (EBP).1,2,3,4,5 The deep practice-based knowledge of these experts gives them skill in active reflection.1 Experts use all three elements of EBP but always modulate what they learn from the literature with their own expert judgment to best meet their patients' needs.
