Using Information and Knowledge Technologies to Practice Evidence-based Rehabilitation Psychology

Abstract

Twenty-first-century information technology makes virtual clinical libraries accessible from anywhere, on just about any device. Mobile technologies can now empower evidence-based clinical decision-making in the moment. Familiar to all clinicians are the point-of-care mobile technologies UpToDate and DynaMed that deliver evidence-based decision support. This guide goes further; it identifies additional specific resources, knowledge tools, databases, and applications that rehabilitation psychologists and their associated colleagues can rely on to deliver evidence-based results in the moment. Additionally included at the end of this chapter are evidence-based practice tutorials plus knowledge resources that can deliver ongoing alerts and updates. These resources are easy to set up and change as needed, supporting clinicians’ lifelong clinical learning.
