The Evidence-Based Practice Triangle

The Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Triangle is a framework showing how healthcare decisions are made by combining three key components: the best current research evidence, the expert's clinical skills and experience, and the patient’s preferences and values. This triangle emphasizes that optimal care isn’t based solely on research or experience but on integrating scientific evidence, professional judgment, and what the patient wants. The balance ensures treatments are effective, appropriate, and tailored to each individual, leading to better health outcomes.
