Response to Evidence-Based Practice

Peer One Response

The similarities between this authors article and mine are on the following facts: the

evidence-based practice has been scientifically proven to be working, and this makes it easy for

them to secure resources and funds (Cooney et al., 2007); Evidence-based practice program

works because it has been proven and it requires less resource; finally, they agree on one

impedance to evidence-based practice which is the little room for adaptation of evidence since

not all evidence-based can be applied to all population participating in the practice.

There are differences in peer1’s article and mine on how they approach Evidence-based

practices. Peer1 indicates that one drawback is implementing a previously established program

based on evidence costs money (Cooney et al., 2007). While my article suggests that it's only the

initial running cost that is weighty, while the practice has been adapted and is up and running,

the operational cost goes down.

I would advise this peer on the cost of implementing an existing evidence-based program

because he/she should look for investors to help cut the cost to minimal by funding the program.

Peer Two Response

The similarities between Peer two's discussion and my discussion on evidence-based

practices are the initial running cost that is weighty when the practice has been adapted and is up

and running; the operational cost goes down (Farkas, 2005). And there is the ease of securing

resources and funds because they are scientifically proven; thus, investors trust them.

The differences between peer two's discussion article and mine are that: she claims that

long adaption of individual time is impedance. She/he also believes that multiple diagnoses are a

drawback, contrary to my opinion since this will help reduce any mistake that might occur
Evidence-Based Practice 3

(Moore, 2013). At the same time, I believe this makes us get accurate results and quality

evidence and data.

One impedes that this peer experience is the high initial cost of running; I would

advise/her to get an already established evidence-based practice to use to avoid the cost of

establishing it and recruiting individuals.
