Lack of time, competencies, resources and supports are documented as
barriers to evidence-based practice (EBP). This paper introduces a recently
developed web-based toolkit designed to assist interprofessional clinicians in
implementing EBP within a paediatric rehabilitation setting. METHODS: EBP theory,
models, frameworks and tools were applied or adapted in the development of the
online resources, which formed the basis of a larger support strategy
incorporating interactive workshops, knowledge broker facilitation and mentoring.
RESULTS: The highly accessed toolkit contains flowcharts with embedded
information sheets, resources and templates to streamline, quantify and document
outcomes throughout the EBP process. Case examples relevance to occupational
therapy and physical therapy highlight the utility and application of the toolkit
in a clinical paediatric setting. Workshops were highly rated by learners for
clinical relevance, presentation level and effectiveness. Eight evidence
syntheses have been created and 79 interventions have been evaluated since the
strategy's inception in January 2011. CONCLUSIONS: The toolkit resources
streamlined and supported EBP processes, promoting consistency in quality and
presentation of outputs. The online toolkit can be a useful tool to facilitate
clinicians' use of EBP in order to meet the needs of the clients and families
whom they support. Implications for Rehabilitation A comprehensive online EBP
toolkit for interprofessional clinicians is available to streamline the EBP
process and to support learning needs regardless of competency level.
Multi-method facilitation support, including interactive education, e-learning,
clinical librarian services and knowledge brokering, is a valued but
cost-restrictive supplement to the implementation of online EBP resources. EBP
resources are not one-size-fits-all; targeted appraisal tools, models and
frameworks may be integrated to improve their utility for specific sectors, which
may limit them for others.
