Evidence Based Practice

Five Steps of Evidence Based Practice

Evidence-based practice consists of five steps:

1. Ask a searchable clinical question;

2. Find the best evidence to answer the question;

3. Appraise the evidence;

4. Apply the evidence with clinical expertise, taking the patient's wants/needs into consideration;

5. Evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the process
