However, EBP “has not become a regular part of clinical
practice”.Brackenbury, Burroughs and Hewitt (2008, p. 78)
Why? Lack of time to search for, read and critique
published evidence relevant to every clinical decision
Too much information Aphasia therapy – 220,000 hits Dysphagia treatment – 3,290 000 Voice therapy – 2,760 000 Phonology therapy – 1,050 000
Too little information - how many systematic reviews have you come across in your search for evidence?
Why?
Need time and resources to develop efficient searching skills
Even then….Brackenbury et al. , (2008) reported that “it is doubtful that most SLPs can afford to take 3 to 7 (or more) to provide evidence for each of the clinical decisions that must be made” (p. 85).
Why?
Have found, read, critiqued the research ... the findings may not be easily applied to clinical practice
O’Conner and Pettigrew (2009) reported that half their participants did not feel that research results were generalizable to their own setting.
Why?
EBP has been thought of as simply using research to justify an intervention approach.
Sense that ….“until EBP came along, clinicians were basing their clinical decisions on something other than evidence, which is simply not true” (Dollaghan, 2007, p. 1)
Why? How many clients/patients in the past week
have you...
Searched for and answered a clinical question (or known the answer to a clinical question based on work you have done on a CAP or CAT?)
Provided the client / patient with the information necessary to make an informed choice

What is EBP?
Is EBP really a regular part of clinical practice? No….not completely.
What is E3BP?
Guidelines for conducting E3BP
What is E3BP?
“the conscientious, explicit, and judicious integration of
1. best available external evidence from systematic research,
2. best available evidence internal to clinical practice, and
3. best available evidence concerning the preferences of a fully informed patient”
(Dollaghan, 2007, p. 2)

External published evidenceTo date, our CAPS seem to focus primarily on
the level of identified evidence
To facilitate the integration of difference sources of evidence we need to:
Consider the validity of the evidenceand... Consider the importance of the evidence
Effect size Precision Practical significance
(Based on Dollaghan, 2007)
Yeah but..... I can’t exactly replicate that in my service
Gap between what is possible and what is practical
Internal evidence from clinical practice
Internal evidence about what is possible in your clinical practice
However....determining what is possible in clinical practice is a challenging task, as, “our strong preferences for what we
already believe to be true makes us poor judges of whether it is actually
true” (Dollaghan, 2007, p. 3).
Internal evidence from clinical practice
It is perhaps, best derived from the systematic and regular collection and
analysis of clinical case-based outcome data.
How are you currently doing this?
Could you compare your outcomes with another colleague?
Internal “client” evidence:client factors, values and preferences Client factors
ICF / ICF-CY frameworks (integrated impairment and socially-based perspective)structure, functionactivity and participation environmental factors and Personal
factors – that could act as barriers or facilitators
Client values and preferences
Consider – Is there any
externalpublished evidence
on client factors?

What is E3BP?
How to conduct E3BP
How can individual clinicians incorporate EBP in a meaningful and
realistic manner?
(Brackenbury, Burroughs, & Hewitt, 2008)
7-Step process for engaging in E3BP (Based on Baker & McLeod, 2008 adapted from Gillam & Gillam, 2006)
STEP 1. Pose a “PICO” question (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome)“In children with a phonological impairment and no
other concomitant conditions, does the Hodson (2007) cycles approach lead to significantly greater gains in percent consonants correct as compared with the Williams (2010) multiple opposition approach?”

STEP 4. Evaluate the internal client evidence
Use the ICF and/or ICF-CY framework
Consider your client / patient’s activity and
participation
Consider the family beliefs and cultural values,
financial resources, and informed preferences

STEP 5. Evaluate your internal clinical evidence
Think about what you currently do and why
Think about the efficiency of your intervention
How do your outcomes compare with the research?
How do your outcomes compare with your colleagues or other similar departments?

Remember….
“our strong preference for what we already believe to be true makes us poor judges of whether it is actually
true…
…E3BP requires honest doubt about a clinical issue, awareness of one’s own biases, a respect for other positions, a willingness to let strong evidence alter
what is already known, and constant mindfulness of ethical responsibilities to patients”
(Dollaghan, 2007, p. 3).

Did it work? What is efficient?

E3BP and the NSW EBP Network
Implications – Focus of current CAP is on external evidence Could we develop “CAPs” for internal clinical and
client evidence? How might they be used within clinical groups?
