Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Evidence-based practice is a process to which clinical professionals adhere when making decisions concerning the assessment or treatment of a given condition. Within the field of speech-language pathology, it is increasingly advocated as best practice. As our profession seeks to transform itself from one that is primarily craft-based to one that relies on evidence-based processes, it must develop and implement a series of structures that will foster this transformation. This article describes three specific structures that are increasingly available within the field of speech-language pathology in the United States to guide transformation of the profession: systematic reviews and meta-analyses, treatment studies, and clearinghouses. Without these structural supports, it is unlikely that evidence-based practice can be scaled up in a way that has positive impacts on practice. |
