Document Summary
Evidence based practice (ebp) is a combination of three things. The marriage of knowledge from three perspectives to form a treatment plan for a client. External scientific evidence: scientific evidence regarding treatment of disorders. Clinical expertise/expert opinion: professional"s experience and knowledge about symptoms and treatment. Preferences, perspectives, values, and choices of a fully informed client. Ebp process: pose a clinically answerable question, search for some evidence, appraise that evidence for relevance, make a decision integrating science, expertise, and patient values, evaluate performance based on that evidence. Intervention: implementation of a plan of action to improve one or more aspects of an individual"s communicative abilities. Feasible: has to work well without being a huge implication to the client"s life. Prevention: a disorder doesn"t exist yet, but it might. Remediation: a disorder exists, and this might fix it. Compensation: a disorder exists, it won"t go away, but this may help the problem.
