The above link is to the Eleanor Clark Slagle Lecture by Margo Holm that we have discussed previously in classes, where she explains explains the relativity of EBP within the context of our profession. Holm covers most of her bases with the topic of EBP, further explaining each of the 5 major levels of evidence as well as why it is necessary for practitioners to stay on top of the new literature that is appearing in their practice domain. Holm brings about two habits that she suggests developing as an OT practitioner:
1) Though evidence may be hard to find, we each need to become competent in the entire process of locating, appraising, and presenting EBP 2) We must use these competencies to ADVANCE the literature within OT, so that we are to be doing the "right things right" in fulfilling our duties.
