תקציר	Case management fidelity assessment measures how closely a case-management or care-coordination program matches the defined model it claims to implement — such as assertive community treatment, intensive case management, or a strengths model — by rating specific structural and process dimensions on anchored scales and aggregating them into an overall fidelity score. The approach was established by the Dartmouth tradition of Teague, Bond, and Drake, whose Assertive Community Treatment fidelity scale became the template for measuring whether a program is delivering its model in practice or only in name.	The evidence-based practice (EBP) process is a structured, five-step way of making practice decisions by integrating the best available research evidence with professional expertise and the client's values and circumstances. Originating in evidence-based medicine as defined by Sackett and colleagues and translated into social work by Eileen Gambrill and others, it reframes EBP not as a fixed list of approved programs but as a transparent decision process — ask, acquire, appraise, apply, assess — that an individual practitioner carries out with and for a particular client.
