What is Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)?

Evidence-based practice is
"the integration of best research evidence
with clinical experience
and patient values and circumstances."
EBP is like a three legged tripod. Just as a tripod needs all three legs to stand, EBP needs all three components to really succeed!

Thank you Janet Wale from CCNet for sharing this in the Cochrane Collaboration 'Consumer Digest' Vol.556(1), Feb 14, 2010.
