PHA761: Evidence-Based Practice

Evidence-based practice (EBP) combines best scientific evidence,clinical experience and patient/client values. This unit provides an opportunity to refine the student's ability to perform literature searches, critically review the literature and apply the evidence derived to relevant clinical/encounter scenarios. It recognises that health care is individualised, ever changing and involves uncertainties and probabilities. Students learn that EBP involves complex and conscientious decision making. This unit uses the Internet heavily to source information partly in dedicated computer laboratories.
