Moving from Treatment as Usual to Evidence Based Practices

This course is for agencies and administrators interested in the researched methods for “change” in organizational philosophy and procedures. The implementation and adoption of “evidence based practices” has been voiced and superficially accepted but research points out the lack of actual execution of science informed practices. This course will elucidate overt and hidden resistance, administrative methods and comportment for encouraging and facilitating adoption and incorporation of EBPs as well as finding fidelity models for measuring effectiveness. Specific diagnostic categories and their attending current EBP’s will be discussed in principle and differentiation from Treatment as Usual. While not a clinical explication of specific techniques, this course informs progressive practices toward more effective and efficient outcomes. Very interactive course.
