Description

This practical guide for medical librarians in hospitals and universities provides a framework and the guide for effectively instructing and mentoring clinicians in the philosophy and methodology of evidence-based practice (EBP).

This manual provides:
- A background history of EBP and its evolution in the clinical setting
- Fundamental aspects of the Population, Intervention, Comparison or Control, Outcome (desired or of interest) Time period (PICO(T) )question as well as the various types of question formats you may encounter
- Methods to teach search strategies based on the PICO(T)question
- Information on how to teach critical appraisal of different study designs to clinicians
- Ideas for continuing education opportunities within your institution for EBP including Immersions, and gamification.
- The skills necessary to ensure that EBP in your facility considers a diverse and inclusive voice in the evidence.

Evidence-Based Practice is a key component of education and progressive skill sets in the clinical setting. Librarians in hospitals and universities are in a unique position to teach EBP to the next generation of students, and this is the book that can help them do that.
