Abstract
The field of health care needs to change in order to address challenges such as rising health care costs, aging populations and the need to treat increasing numbers of people with chronic health conditions. All of this must be accomplished while reducing costs and maintaining quality of care. Health care professionals are being tasked with facilitating this change. Like many other health care professions, athletic training has turned to evidence-based practice to assure that athletic trainers are trained to deliver the highest quality of care in the most efficient way to their patients. The transition to integrating evidence-based practice will be challenging and will require a massive diffusion of innovation throughout the field of athletic training.
