A case report of evidence-based practice: from academia to clinic.
The purpose of this article is to present activities that can be used to integrate evidence-based practice (EBP) into clinicians' daily work so that they may be better informed when planning intervention with their clients. The article includes a short history of EBP, a description of an eight-step EBP process taught in an academic setting using a student project as an example, and suggestions for ways in which individual practitioners and occupational therapy managers can promote the implementation of EBP in daily practice.
