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;

 * Evidence-based benefits: Certified agencies will likely find it easier to
   gain funding and stakeholder support, recruit and retain qualified and
   skilled personnel. Evidence-based standards generate data that can be used in
   day-to-day leadership and management. Organizational decision-making also
   will be guided by solid data and research evidence.
 * Establishment of measurable criteria for improving operations: Through the
   certification processes, agencies continuously review policies, programs, and
   practices and have the ability to make identified improvements when
   deficiencies are recognized.
 * Enhanced staff morale and professionalism: Certifications are awarded to
   highly proficient agencies and organizations that embrace evidence-based
   approaches. Staff of these organizations typically experience higher job
   satisfaction and morale.
 * Improved Training: Certification will require written policy and procedures
   to establish evidence-based training and professional development for agency
   personnel. The professional growth of employees is viewed as a key aspect of
   becoming and maintaining a CEBO.

What areas are emphasized for becoming an EBO?

The following five areas are emphasized:

 * Knowledge and use of evidence-based policies, programs, and practices
 * Demonstrating effective leadership
 * Organizational culture and assessment
 * Strategic planning, performance measurement, and program evaluation
 * Building capacity and sustainability

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.
