Description

This course is structured to help the student develop evidence-based decision making skills. With these skills, the student will be expected to critically appraise and correctly apply current evidence from relevant research to patient care decisions so that what is known is reflected in what is practiced. Evidence-based practice means consulting the best scientific data when making decisions and then evaluating the outcomes of those decisions. Each student will have the opportunity to use the framework for evidence-based practice which includes the ability and skills to: clearly state questions and method; use comprehensive search methods to determine which articles to include; use explicit methods to determine which articles to include; carefully assess the validity of the primary studies with methods that are free from bias; insure that the conclusions are supportable from the data cited; and determine the relevance of the findings.
