Evidence-based practice

ABSTRACT

Evidence-based practice (EBP) has seen tremendous growth in recent years. EBP provides an opportunity for clinicians and healthcare professionals to provide the best treatment possible based on the best available evidence, which will in turn result in better patient outcomes. The Joanna Briggs Institute’s (JBI) approach to evidence-based healthcare provides a better understanding of the role that evidence plays in clinical practice with a central focus on the effectiveness, meaningfulness, appropriateness and feasibility of health practices and delivery methods.
