A Review on Models of Evidence-Based Practice

Evidence-based practice is a paradigm and life-long problem solving approach to clinical decision-making that involves the conscientious use of the best available evidence (including a systematic search for and critical appraisal of the most relevant evidence to answer a clinical question) with one's own clinical expertise and patient values and preferences to improve outcomes for individuals, groups, communities and systems. EBP is defined as integration of the best available research evidence with information about patient preferences, clinical skill level and available resources to make decisions about care. In this paper, review on models of Evidence-Based Practice is discussed.
