Overview | What is EBP? provides definitions and explains the steps in the EBP process. |
Ask | Asking Clinical Question – introduces you to a patient, illustrates the anatomy of a good clinical question, and defines the types of questions and studies. |
Acquire | Searching the Literature - constructs a well-built literature search based on the PICO and identifies potentially relevant articles. |
Appraise | Evaluating the Evidence - identifies criteria for determining the validity of a study selected for our case. |
Practice | Testing your Knowledge - gives you an opportunity to practice the EBP process with several new cases. |
References | Points you to additional sites for continued study of the EBP process and provides a glossary of terms used in EBP. |
Feedback | Gives you the opportunity to provide feedback about this tutorial. We ask that you take the time to give us your thoughts and suggestions for improvement. All comments will be greatly appreciated. |
