Abstract

Date Presented 04/04/19

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a critical approach to healthcare that is widely spreading over many healthcare professions. However, studies conducted in the US found that 30 to 40% of patients do not receive care according to updated scientific evidence. The aim of this study is to identify OT and PT perceptions toward barriers to implement EBP.
