Evidence-Based Organization FAQ's
Why adopt evidence-based approaches?
The better question is probably, “why not?” EBP’s are proven approaches for any organization to function in as well as working with people. What other approach would you subject another human being to if it’s not one that is proven to produce optimum desirable outcomes?
Also it has increasingly become a requirement by most funding agencies, clients, victims, governments, taxpayers and the community at large. Working with patients is a delicate act requiring organizations and practitioners to demonstrate expertise every time in their delivery of services.
What is the difference between a CEBO and a CEBP?
The CEBO is the certification process designed for organizations. It is a self-evaluation and external review program which provides a standard method for organizations to become certified as Evidence-Based Organizations. In doing so the certification process recognizes abilities and accomplishments they demonstrate in the area of evidence-based policies, programs, and practices. In addition the program also provides an outstanding opportunity for organizations to enhance their evidence-based approaches, culture and proficiency.
The Certification for Evidence-Based Professionals (CEBP) is a training and self-study program followed by a half-day proctored exam which provides individuals with a standard method to become certified. It recognizes the abilities and accomplishments these individuals have demonstrated in the area of evidence-based policies, programs, and practices. The Certification program creates progressive professional development and provides an outstanding opportunity for individuals to become highly knowledgeable and skilled in evidence-based approaches. The program enhances the capabilities of these individuals and the agencies within which they work; aids in the recruitment and retention of skilled and talented staff members; and enables participants to become part of a nationwide network of professionals devoted to improving their productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness, along with enhancing the performance of their agencies and organizations.
How is it that there are just a handful of Certified Evidence-Based Organizations (CEBO’s)?
Although the evidence-based movement has been around for decades in the medical health care field, it is relatively young in the human and social services field. Younger still is the movement to establish a standard certification process for such organizations. That effort officially got underway in August, 2013 when Joyfields Institute for Professional Development worked with the EBP Society, the Society for Evidence-Based Organizations and Professionals to institute the program.
The process of getting certified is rigorous and can take 6 - 12 months to achieve a Provisional Certification. Achieving a Full Certification can take as much as 24 months. Since its inception seven months ago, one (1) organization has achieved the Provisional Certification status. A few others are currently undergoing the process.
Over the years well-meaning organizations adopt often economically prohibitive model programs and practices for serving their clients to the exclusion of an evidence-based organizational framework. Such programs fade away when funding is exhausted. On the other hand practices installed at evidence-based organizations (EBO's) thrive and continue to serve their clients for very many years. Becoming an EBO provides that evidence-based organizational framework to sustain practicing agencies and the model programs they choose to adopt for serving their clients.
What advantages does becoming a Certified Evidence-Based Organizations (CEBO) offer?
Beyond the obvious advantages noted previously, organizations in the program enjoy some key benefits;
What areas are emphasized for becoming an EBO?
The following five areas are emphasized:
Who are the founders of the certification programs for organizations and professionals?
The certification programs were officially launched in August 2013 by executives and an advisory team of evidence-based and strength-centered professionals at Joyfields Institute for Evidence-Based Professionals and Society for Evidence-Based Organizations and Professionals, EBP Society.
EBP Society is the growing community of professionals who share a commitment to the application of evidence-based frameworks to the work we do;
