The Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) committee of ISHA acts to inform and educate members and the public on Evidence-Based Practice. This includes evolving views on EBP, skills and resources for overcoming barriers to effective implementation, and practical ideas for incorporating all elements of EBP in clinical decision-making.
Evidence-Based Practice Committee 2021-2022 Committee Goals
- Submit ISHA Newsletter pieces that provide specific strategies for engaging in the EBP process for clinicians.
- Survey clinicians regarding potential research questions they have encountered in their clinical practice and how to better connect therapists in the field to researchers.
- Gather input from committee members via survey regarding ISHA survey distribution.
- Complete a Google Doc including committee members’ areas of expertise for the VP of Professional Affairs to call on as needed.
- Present at the 2022 ISHA convention on the importance of EBP and the use of implementation science to provide a process to make data-driven decisions given common barriers to practice and implementation.
