Evidence-Based Practice
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
Integration of three elements: best research evidence + clinical expertise + patient values and preferences. Evidence hierarchy: different types of evidence have different credibility. Continuous updating: adjust practice as new evidence emerges. Scaffolding role: base decisions on evidence rather than tradition or intuition. "We've always done it this way" is not a good reason; "evidence shows this is more effective" is. (Evidence-based decision pathway, evidence-based mutual aid protocol are related applications)
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

Anchor fast decisions
Evidence-based practice integrates three elements: best research evidence + clinical expertise + patient values and preferences; it adopts evidence of varying credibility according to the evidence hierarchy, and continuously updates as new evidence emerges, basing decisions on evidence rather than tradition or intuition.
