An evidence-based practice is considered to An evidence-based practice is considered to be any practice that has been established as be any practice that has been established as effective through scientific research according effective through scientific research according to a set of explicit criteria to a set of explicit criteria (Drake et al, 2001)(Drake et al, 2001)..

Evidence-based treatment is the use of Evidence-based treatment is the use of treatments for which there is sufficiently treatments for which there is sufficiently persuasive evidence to support their persuasive evidence to support their effectiveness in attaining desired outcomes effectiveness in attaining desired outcomes (Rosen and Proctor, 2002)(Rosen and Proctor, 2002)..

Evidence-based practice is the integration of Evidence-based practice is the integration of best research evidence with clinical expertise best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values and patient values (Institute of Medicine, (Institute of Medicine, 2001)2001)..
