The evolution of, advantages of and challenges to evidence-based practice are discussed. For the aging network, one of the biggest barriers to translating evidence-based research into practice stems from the important differences between the services the aging network provides and those delivered by the health sciences. In order for evidence-based practice to become a widely used approach, it must become a truly joint effort of both researchers and practitioners.
