The Berlin assessment tool measures medical professionals' EBP competence (skills and knowledge). It was constructed by a panel of EBP experts and validated in a group of medical health professionals attending a course on EBP. The Berlin tool consists of 15 multiple choice questions (MCQs), which primarily focused on assessing the participant's ep...
The Fresno assessment tool also measures medical professionals' EBP competence (skills and knowledge). The Fresno tool consists of two clinical scenarios with open ended questions. Participants are required to complete the four key steps of EBP process in order to adequately answer the open ended questions relating to the clinical scenarios. The F...
Written items, such as Extended Matching Questions (EMQs) and MCQs, are best utilised to assess the learner's core clinical knowledge . These assessment tools may be useful in assessing one aspect of EBP competence (e.g. step 3), as is the case with the Berlin test; however, they are not suitable if competence across all four EBP domains is sought....
Due to the lack of data in the current literature it is not possible to compare how EBP competence is assessed across difference health disciplines. The Berlin and Fresno tools have both been validated as tools to assess EBP competence within medicine. Another version of the Fresnotool is currently being developed to assess EBP competence in other ...
Further research needs to be conducted across a variety of areas to comprehensibly explore assessment of EBP competence. Further development on specific assessment tools, such as the Fresno tool, is required so that it can be applied across various health disciplines. Developing an OSCE version of the Fresnotool would further enhance its ability to...

Jan 21, 2014 · Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a life-long problem-solving approach to the delivery of health care that integrates the best evidence from well-designed studies (i.e., external evidence) and integrates it with a patient's preferences and values and a clinician's expertise, which includes internal evidence gathered from patient data.
Internationally, evidence-based practice (EBP) is recognised as a foundational element of healthcare professional education. Achieving competency in this area is a complex undertaking that is reflected in disparities between ‘best EBP’ and actual clinical care. The effective development and
