• Summary:Evidence-based practice (EBP) has become the standard in medical practice today. Evidence-based Practice for Health Professionals: An Interprofessional Approach covers the fundamentals of applying medical evidence to clinical practice and discussing research findings with patients and fellow professionals. This essential text explains the basic concepts of EBP, its applications in medicine, and how to interpret biostatics and biomedical research. With examples derived from primary care medicine and nursing, evidence-Based Practice for Health Professionals teaches the skills needed to access and interpret research in order to successfully apply it to collaborative, clinical decisions. Students gain valuable practice with skill-building learning activities, such as explaining the evidence for treatments to patients, developing a standard of care, selecting a diagnostic tool, and designing community-based educational materials.
