It involves study of distribution and causes of health events in a given community and application of the study to address the health issues (Szklo & Nieto, 2014). Clinical epidemiology is a term used to define a methodology for clinical research. As a tool for research, clinical epidemiology guides the clinicians to seek answers through evidence based research (Woodward, 2013). Clinical epidemiology acts as the basis for clinicians as they
Evidence-based medicine is designed to increase the quality medical care and increase the value of medical by cutting costs through the reduction of misuse and/or overuse (Shi and Singh, 2013) EBM guidelines are represented by “best practices and proven therapies” (Shi and Singh, 2013). The work to improve these guidelines and protocols is ongoing as it seeks to improve the delivery of healthcare, into the future. Shi and Singh (2013) lists 6 recommendations for improving practice guidelines for

In this week’s assignment, one will reflect on the American Psychological Association (APA), stated evidence-based practice to define, refine, and analyze the Evidence-based programs and practice in psychology (EBPP). Based on the resources found in the warm-up activities, the best evidence-based programs and practice is defined as the integration of the most effective and available research with clinical expertise in the structure of patient characteristics such as; culture, and value.
