A Survey of the Non-clinical Benefits of EBVM

“…A PICO-based literature review was conducted by Hauser and Jackson (2016) to establish current knowledge about the non-clinical benefits of EBVM and yielded few answers to the research questions of this project.…”

“…The majority of respondents (80.2%) were in full time employment at the time of the survey, 17.3% were working part time, 2.0% were not employed and 0.5% preferred not to answer. Respondents were asked what best describes their current role in veterinary practice, half of all respondents were employees (50.9%), the second largest 1 Not all questions had to be answered by all respondents Veterinary Evidence ISSN: 2396-9776 www.veterinaryevidence.org editor@veterinaryevidence.org p a g e | 4…”

“…It was revealed by a PICO-based literature review (Hauser and Jackson, 2016) that little knowledge exists about the non-clinical benefits of EBVM. It concluded that while there is some literature suggesting a link between the practice of EBVM and better non-clinical benefits such as client satisfaction and client retention, a study, focusing primarily on the non-clinical benefits of EBVM, had not yet been conducted.…”

An Exploratory Study Investigating the Non-Clinical Benefits of Evidence-Based Veterinary Medicine

“…A PICO-based literature review (Hauser and Jackson, 2016) was conducted to establish current knowledge about the non-clinical benefits of EBVM and it concluded that while there are some papers suggesting a link between the practice of EBVM and better non-clinical benefits such as client satisfaction and client retention, a single study, focusing on the non-clinical benefits of EBVM, had yet to be produced.…”
