 What's evidence?


?EbP consits the following sequence of
events:
1. Convert the need for information into an
answerable question(s) (...).
2. Track down the best available evidence to
answer each question.
KatHO NRW   Aachen    K?ln      M¨¹nster    Paderborn




 What's evidence?


3. Critically evaluate this evidence in terms of its
validity, impact and potential relevance to our
client.
4. Integrate relevant evidence with our clinical
expertise and client values and circumstances.
KatHO NRW   Aachen   K?ln    M¨¹nster   Paderborn




What's evidence?

 5. Evaluate our expertise in conducting
 Steps 1 - 4 above, and evaluate the
 outcomes of our services to the client,
 especially focusing on an assessment of
 enhanced client functioning and/or
 problem resolution¡°

KatHO NRW     Aachen      K?ln      M¨¹nster      Paderborn



Categories of Evidence


   A-Level: Systematic Reviews/Meta-Analyses &
   Randomized Controlled Trials

   B-Level: Quasi-Exerimental Studies, Case-Control
   and Cohort Studies, Pre-Experimental Group Studies,
   Surveys

   C-Level: Qualitative Studies
KatHO NRW   Aachen     K?ln       M¨¹nster     Paderborn




What's evidence?

 ?EbP says that one should rely on the best
 AVAILABLE evidence, not only on BEST
 evidence, such as based on RCT (=
 randomised-controlled studies - M.Z)
 (because often there is no BEST evidence
 available)¡°

      Organisational learning

            Definitions

            ?Organisations learn through experiences. They're
              acting, regarding their experiences, watch the
              consequences and develop implications for
              further actions. This is an adaptive-rational
              process.¡° (March et al.)
KatHO NRW         Aachen      K?ln        M¨¹nster     Paderborn




      Organisational learning

            Definition

            ?Organisational learning can be understood as a
              continuous process of exchanging informations
              between a system and its environment. This
              process allows the system to implement
              changes and initiate answers.¡° (Morgan)
KatHO NRW          Aachen       K?ln         M¨¹nster      Paderborn




      Organisational learning

            Definition

            ?Organisational learning happens, if members of
              an organisation become learning agents for
              their organisation, if they discover mistakes in
              the organisational daily used concepts and
              theories referring to the external and internal
              environment of the organisation, correct them
              and embed the results of their research in the
              individual and shared opinions in the
              organisation.¡° (Argyris & Sch?n)

            Conclusion



  Evidence based practise offers the chance to
  make an advantage in the professionalisation of
  social work: from mission to profession.
  It is an ethical and scientific need.

  Universities are the natural partners, and
  service learning is the best curricular place.
