Hello Ann,
I hope that your vacation is going well. My trip to Chile could have been
to anywhere in the world. We didn't leave the hotel but twice.
But, in coming back I had to go through pburgh as you know (thank you for
offering your mom to take me up to mtrl. Nick's sister and her kids came
down and went to the beach). I asked Ste if she wanted to go see the house I
grew up in and when we got there the door was opened and the place
abandonded, so I got to go in. What a weird feeling! It was so small! In my
mind it was so muh bigger!
You present was returned to my office. It was a bit embarassing bc the
secratary called me to see if it was mine! She didn't say Yeah!!!!!

Subject: Re: how much of professional health knowledge is evidence
based?
I tend to agree. Evidence based practise usually requires published
research
and position papers to support it. These tangible things often lag 3-5
years
behind progressing knowledge and innovative/effective practise.
Further, what works for 80% of the population is "practise based", but
what
works for 20% is not -- those 20% still deserve to have professionals
helping them find the health care best meant for them.

Subject: Re: [SDOH] how much of professional health knowledge is

Hello,
Rena Papadopoulos asked about data on the extent to which the everyday
practices of health professionals are evidence-based. As a
non-nurse/non-physician health professional. I would like to comment
that it
may not be helpful to group all health care practitioners into one
category
for this kind of statement as their work varies widely. Nor would such
an
aggregate figure necessarily be representative: there are many
under-researched health professions for whom this type of data just has
not
been envisioned, let alone collected. While there may be such data
available
for physicians and nurses, I would be cautious about extrapolating it
to
health professonals in general and would investigate whether, at some
point,
it involved overgeneralization. Such are the limits of evidence-based
research, I suppose!

Subject: Re: how much of professional health knowledge is evidence
based?
I replied privately to Rena Papadopoulos's queston about evidence-based
research but the continuation of the thread prompts me to send along my
comments to the list. (see below) I have since discovered that
"evidence-based" has a technical stipulaltive definition. That being
so,
the logical point I attempt to make is off the mark,technically. So I
will
try another assertion. The entire notion of "evidence-based" is a move
within pseudo-science.
Dear Rena,
Whatever the responses you get I would worry the point being made. I
really
believe such claims are inherently pseudo-scientific.
Conceptually, information and evidence and knowledge and evidence are
inexticably linked. To the question, "Can you have knowledge without
evidence?", the answer is "no." "Can you have knowledge without
empirical
evidence?", is a different question and the answer will vary depending
on
your epistemological position or maybe even on the kind of person you
are.
For what its worth my answer to the second question is "you betcha can."
