“Evidence-based medicine is the integration of best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values” Sackett DL, Rosenberg WMC, Gray JAM, Haynes RB, Richardson WS: Evidence based medicine: what it is and what it isn’t. BMJ 1996;312:71-2. Patient Concerns Best research evidence Clinical Expertise EBM What is EBM?
EBM Process – 5 Steps • ASSESS - Begin with the patient encounter • ASK - clinical questions that address important patient problems • ACQUIRE - the best evidence to answer the questions (Use 4S Approach) • APPRAISE - Evaluate the evidence for validity, importance, and usefulness • APPLY - Does the evidence “fit” your patient’s specific problems and needs? Practice the EBM process in daily patient encounters
Clinical Questions • Four common types: • Therapy/prevention • Diagnosis • Etiology • Prognosis
Answerable Questions • Select Questions That: • Are most important to the patient’s well being • Fill gaps in your clinical knowledge • Are feasible to answer in the time available
Information Retrieval to Answer Clinical Questions Requires New Skills • Clinical question formulation • Search and retrieval of best evidence • Critical appraisal of study methods
Is All Evidence Created Equal? • Small portion of medical literature is immediately useful to answer clinical questions • Understanding “wedge or pyramid of evidence” is helpful in finding highest level of evidence • High levels of evidence may not exist for all questions due to nature of medical problems and research limitations
As you move up the pyramid the amount of available literature decreases, but it increases in its relevance to the clinical setting.

Evidence Based Retrieval • Find the answer that is supported by valid studies appropriate to the type of question and that is available in a timely manner • Requires search terms plus best study design for question plus highest level of evidence
Therapy/Prevention Question • What is the best available evidence regarding the effectiveness of language and speech interventions for children suffering from primary speech and language delay or disorder? • Find the answer that is supported by valid studies, appropriate to the type of question, and that is available in a timely manner.
1. Possible Search Terms • Speech, language, therapy, intervention, delay, disorder
Evidence Based Databases – Critically Appraised Decision Support Tools • DynaMed – Expert summaries for over 3,000 topics to answer clinical questions at point of care. Based on studies evaluated for clinical relevance and validity. Updated daily • Cochrane Systematic Reviews – Over 900 full text reviews of research studies based on specific quality criteria and produced by the Cochrane Collaboration, an international network of researchers • Joanna Briggs Institute – International research organization provides full text of expert summaries, best practice information sheets, systematic reviews, and consumer information sheets
