OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY EVIDENCE-BASED TOOLKIT
Dearholt, Sandra L., and Dang, Deborah. Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice: Models and Guidelines (2nd Edition).
EBP is a problem-solving approach to clinical decision-making within a health care organization. It integrates the best available scientific evidence with the best available experiential (patient and practitioner) evidence. EBP considers internal and external influences on practice and encourages critical thinking in the judicious application of such evidence to the care of individual patients, a patient population, or a system (Newhouse, Dearholt, Poe, Pugh, & White, 2007).
Many different terms and acronyms are used to describe Evidence-Based Clinical Practice.
- Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM)
- Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)
- Evidence-Based Health Care (EBHC)
- Evidence-Based Dentistry (EBD)
- Evidence-Based Nursing (EBN)

From John Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice: Model and Guidelines

Evidence - Search, appraise, summarize and synthesize internal and external sources of evidence.
Translation - Create and implement an action plan, evaluate outcomes, disseminate findings.
These books describe how to conduct evidence-based practice. There are chapters on the various steps in the Hopkins model, outlining how and when they should be completed.
