Evidence-based decision making (EBDM) is a strategic method that applies empirical research and principles to justice system decisions at various levels. It involves making decisions based on the best available scientific evidence, using data systems systematically, applying program planning frameworks, engaging the community, and conducting evaluations. There are three key components of EBDM - best available evidence, clinician knowledge and skills, and patient wants and needs. Some benefits of EBDM include cultivating a culture of inquiry, embracing new processes, building research and clinical proficiency, helping achieve better health outcomes and costs savings, and improving job satisfaction.

Making (EBDM)

2. What is EBDM?
 Evidence-based decision making is a strategic
and deliberate method of applying empirical
knowledge and research supported principles
to justice system, decisions made at the case,
agency and system level

3. Characteristics of EBDM
1. Making decisions based on the best
available scientific evidence,
2. using data and information system s
systematically
3. Applying program planning frameworks
4. Engaging the community in decision
making
5. Conducting sound evaluation
6. Disseminating what is learnt

4. Examples of evidence based
1. Randomized controlled trials
2. Evidence from cohort, case-control, or
observational studies
3. Expert opinions that are supported by
experience, studies or reports.
4. Personal experience

5. What are the 3 components of evidence-
based decision making ?
 All 3 elements are equally important
1. Best available evidence
2. Clinician knowledge and skills
3. Patients wants and needs

6. What are the 4 pillars of evidence
based practice ?
1. Clinical expertise
2. Research evidence
3. Patient values and circumstances
4. Practice context

7. Why EBDM is important ?
1. EBDM encourages professionals to think
through their plans carefully before
exacting them , reducing the likelihood of
hasty decisions
2. This approach also relies on hard data
rather than feelings or opinions, asking it
easier to choose reliable methods which
are known to lead towards success

8. 5As of evidence based decision
making
1. Ask a focused clinical question
2. Access the patient
3. Appraise the quality of the evidence
4. Apply the evidence to patient care
5. Audit and evaluation

9. Benefits of EBDM
1. Culture of inquiry
2. Embracing new processes
3. Building research and clinical proficiency
4. EBDM and triple aim
5. Improving job satisfaction
6. Interventions to increase immunizations
