Description

You NEVER have to experience that feeling of uncertainty again…

  • Find the BEST evidence-based answer to your clinical question in just 5 minutes
  • Analyze effective quality appraisal tools & intention-to-treat
  • Understand statistical tests - and relevance within clinical practice
  • Confidently explain your treatment decisions to other members of the medical team
  • Practice new research skills using a variety of clinical scenarios - bring your laptop/tablet!
  • Develop a systematic approach to choose the most appropriate database

With a growing body of scientific literature, you face complex challenges in finding and interpreting the appropriate research data in a busy clinical setting. This one-day course will walk you through a simple, consistent, and efficient 5-step process to effectively locate the best evidence-based answer to a clinical question, in under 10 minutes. Incorporating the best evidence in clinical practice enables cost-effective care, improves reimbursement of treatments provided (especially from Medicare) and, most importantly, leads to the best patient care outcomes. To implement evidence-based practice, you need to have a strategy in place to minimize the time involved in literature searching for clinical questions that arise, so that productivity standards in the workplace can be maintained.

The course accentuates a 5-step methodology of effectively crafting a clinical question, selecting the best database, assessing the applicability of the evidence to the patient, interpreting various statistical tests, and understanding the quality of the evidence. Participants will explore their own research questions within this hands-on workshop. Presenting evidence (but not the best evidence) is not evidence-based practice. This workshop, coupled with clinical scenarios, enhances the applicability of learned concepts that can be immediately useful in your own practice.
