Abstract

The Steps 5 and 6 of the evidence-based practice (EBP) model are (Step 5) to finalize the treatment plan and (Step 6) to implement it. Authors of books and articles on EBP frequently address these two steps only minimally as they mark the shift from making practice decisions back to ‘doing’ practice. We think these steps warrant some further exploration and discussion. We also think that practice evaluation, sometimes included as a step in EBP, deserves some further discussion. These issues will be the focus of this chapter.
