Assessing clinical practice

Identify barriers, strategy for implementation, reflect on EBM practice, and maintain integration

When assessing clinicians on their evidence-based clinical practice, ask the following questions:

1. When evidence suggests a change in practice, are they identifying barriers and facilitators to this change?

2. Have they identified a strategy to implement this change, targeted to the barriers that were identified?

3. Have they carried out any check or audit of my diagnostic, therapeutic, or other EBM performance including evidence use and its impact on clinical outcomes?

4. Are they considering the sustainability of this change?
There are four considerations taken when assessing clinical practice.
