Applying patient preferences and values in the EBP model

How do you put into practice the 1/3 of the evidence-based practice (EVP) model that involves patient preferences and values? Information seems rather scarce when I explore the websites of ASHA, RCSLT, and the APTA, though all are replete with recommendations on choosing proper evidence and how the clinician should be putting this evidence into practice. We must, of course, take note and respect the patient’s social and cultural needs and differences, but is that it?

How do you insert patient preferences and values into your treatment?

Cheers,
