The rate at which research is published is phenomenal making it nearly impossible for healthcare providers to remain abreast of the growing body of evidence.  We live in a global world where cutting edge research is being conducted in many countries, yet implementing best evidence does not keep pace with scientific discovery.  In fact, it is common for many years to pass before practice changes. 

So how does one keep his/her practice current?   Evidence-Based Practice.  EBP allows you to provide the highest quality healthcare for patients.  Recipe for EBP delineates the steps of the evidence-based practice process.  This model provides a framework for initiating the evidence-based process to evaluate a practice intervention.  The Art of EBP and the Patient Perspective are both depicted in the Trinity EBP model, which shows how clincial research is coupled with caring practice & expertise and with patient perspectives & expectations.
