What Is Evidence-Based Decision Support?

Apply evidence-based decision support deliberately to the situations in which that capability is relevant, with attention to the decisions, behaviours, or outputs that evidence-based decision support directly affects.

Why Does Evidence-Based Decision Support Matter?

Evidence-Based Decision Support matters when the outcome depends on doing more than the broad task itself; the specific capability described by evidence-based decision support can determine how accurately, clearly, efficiently, or appropriately the work is carried out.

What Does It Look Like?

Someone applying evidence-based decision support may:

  • uses evidence-based decision support deliberately rather than treating it as an automatic habit
  • checks the part of the result most affected by evidence-based decision support
  • adjusts the approach when the situation changes what evidence-based decision support requires

How to Develop Evidence-Based Decision Support

You can develop it by:

  • choose a real task where evidence-based decision support is clearly involved and define the result you want to improve
  • observe how a more experienced person handles evidence-based decision support and record the specific decisions they make
  • review one completed task and identify where stronger evidence-based decision support would have changed the result
