  1. Stout on Evidence Based Practice Tools Evidence Based Medicine: Wouldn’t It Be Nice…? Chris E. Stout, PsyD Department of Research, ATI College of Medicine, University of Illinois, Chicago

  2. It’s nice to work with workers’ comp outcomes because… Outcomes are VERY Quantified – RTW at the same job description and PDL or not? – How many days passed before RTW? – Nice, clean, and tidy!

  3. Surgeon’s Perspective on a Good Outcome • No anesthesia issues • No surprises during or after • No complications • Good wound healing • No post-op infection

  4. But how does the story end? Is the patient back at work? Quickly? At the same PDL as prior to injury? With the same job classification?

  5. Just the facts, er, evidence…

  6. Evidence is predicated on clinical outcomes

  7. So, evidence-based practice ROCKs! Right…?

  8. Half of what you are taught in medical school will be wrong in 10 years’ time, the problem is you don’t know which half. - Sydney Burwell, MD, former Dean, Harvard Medical School

  9. It took an average of 17 years for new knowledge generated by RCTs to be incorporated into practice. –IOM

  10. Not a problem of too little, but too much

  11. • 3600 statistical articles are published on average each year • Do you know how long it would take you to keep up…? Just for Coronary Heart Disease…

  12. If you read 1 article/15 minutes You would have to read >10 articles 7 days/week Forever…

  13. In addition, too often there is a disconnect between actual practice and the evidence

  14. OK, So, now WHAT?

  15. It’s about tools…
