Evidence-based practice is a method of making decisions about healthcare, education, or other human services based on a combination of best research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient values and preferences. It involves using the most current and reliable evidence from research studies to guide decision-making and improve outcomes for individuals or populations. This approach is intended to integrate scientific evidence with practitioner expertise and patients' needs to ensure more effective and efficient practices. Evidence-based practice is widely used in fields such as medicine, psychology, social work, education, and public health.
