#  Using Evidence in the Clinic

**Presentation Date:** 16 October 2020

**Duration:** 1:20:39

**Return to:** [AuDacity Archive](https://www.audiologist.org/audacity-archive)

Evidence based practice has become a term that is loosely used in many policy and funding requirements. Audiologists are faced with evidence on a daily basis, but not all of it is used in decision making. Bias towards quantitative data and measurable benefit is a limiting factor in determining the type of evidence we use as well as restricting innovation in clinical practice. Three expert presenters will discuss how audiology and hearing health services need to understand evidence, both quantitative and qualitative, and how using that we can shift the focus in clinics from a medical/technology model to one that is patient or community focused.
