Evidence-based practices are extremely important to me. I spend the majority of my current job as a Loss Prevention Officer finding and exhausting all the evidence I can acquire. I feel that it’s important to find evidence to back up my reports. While conducting the Predisposition Report I would be tasked with interviewing the Juvenile, which would provide their history and their side of the story. However I feel that it’s important to use EBP to do my own research of the juvenile to find and exhaust all resources to find the truth. I believe that in doing my own research and finding the truth using EPB I will be better able to provide an accurate report to the court system and references for the juvenile’s rehabilitation needs.…
In the article, Back to Basics: Implementing Evidence- based Practice, the author, Lisa Spruce (2015), explains that health care is transitioning from volume based to value-based care. In order to create this value-based care, we need to put into action, evidence based practice (Spruce, 2015). Evidence based practice takes into consideration effectiveness by using research, patient preference and clinic experience, as well as cost-effectiveness (Spruce, 2015). When using this type of practice, a clinician is more likely to follow policy if they are able to understand and explain why they follow certain procedures, instead of just complying to a rule because it is a rule (Spruce, 2015).…

Good luck in your future…

Role modeling and participating in the skills are necessary to develop evidence-based practice into clinical and nonclinical courses and also an important part in developing positive attitudes toward evidence-based practice, that’s the first step for using evidence to guide practice decisions (Winters).
