TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Evidence-Based Practice in the Diagnostic Process A1 - Starkey, Chad A1 - Brown, Sara D. PY - 2015 T2 - Examination of Orthopedic & Athletic Injuries, 4e AB - Evidence-based practice (EBP) in health care is an old concept with a new name, with the principles embedded in everyday life. EBP is the integration of current, best research results, clinical expertise, and the unique circumstances and values of the patient.1 These components are used in everyday life. Consider helping a friend buy a new computer. First, you would research the various brands and models that are on the market; some are better than others. For a few more dollars, you may be able to purchase a computer with more features, but are they worth it? During this process, you would call on the second element, your personal experience and expertise. What brands have worked well in the past? Finally, you must consider the circumstances and values of your friend. Is cost or portability more significant? Failure to recognize these personal needs and values could lead to inaccurate results (unless you guessed correctly). If your friend simply must have a portable computer, no amount of research will make a desktop computer a good choice. SN - PB - F. A.
