Abstract:

A Google search on June 14, 2007, produced 59,700,000 hits for the term evidence based practice. While this is a popular term today in health care, it is most interesting that the use of this term crosses disciplinary boundaries. With the current trend toward interdisciplinary approaches to our work, the question arises: What does evidence-based practice mean and how is it defined and used by various disciplines?

Keywords: EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE; DISCIPLINE-SPECIFIC DEFINITIONS; INTERDISCIPLINARY; COLLABORATION; EVIDENCE
