  As discussed in this article and throughout much of our curriculum, there is a push for occupational therapists to base their treatments on sound evidence. WIth the cost of healthcare and out of pocket expenses for therapy services, the drive toward evidence based practice makes perfect sense. Patients receiving occupational therapy services want to know- will this service make me better? or will i see dramatic improvements in a specific treatment? This article discusses the science behind evidence based practice and ways in which occupational therapists can become more of an "evidenced based practitioner". The process begins with developing a clinical question, searching relevant literature, appraising the literature and then implementing the information into clinical practice. I think this article is a great refresher on many of the topics we learned in Jim's research classes!
