Talk:Evidence based practice

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Removed the list of practice guides -- current EBPs include assertive community treatment, supported employment (also known as supported competitive employment or supported work), integrated dual disorders treatment, family psychoeducation, and illness management and recovery.

This can't become a list of specific guides or it will become cluttered with loads of stuff no one will understand outside of their particular area.

Hello. I noticed the tag on the article. I have some information for this article that may add better context. Docleaf 09:45, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not just patients

Evidence-Based Practice seems like a meta-description that includes EBM, specifically note the paragraph on Evidence Based Practice in the Evidence-based medicine:

In his 1996 inaugural speech[19] as President of the Royal Statistical Society, Adrian Smith held out evidence-based medicine as an exemplar for all public policy. He proposed that Evidence-Based Practice should be established for education, prisons and policing policy and all areas of government.

It seems to me that the discussion of patient care (particularly in the lead) should be moved to EBM, and this article modified to be more of an overview of the various "Evidence-based" practices, like Evidence-based management, Evidence-based design and perhaps new article, like: Evidence-based education Herd of Swine (talk) 17:01, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reference List

I am new to adding to a page in Wikipedia. I'm not sure how to do the references as I see them here. If someone wants to fix them so they are correct, I'd really appreciate it. I don't have time now to read how to do it, but I will and will fix it, if no one else does. I ask your patience with this newbie.
