EBP in 6 Steps
The process of EBP described in the medical literature is composed of 5 steps (Sackett et al., 1996; Strause et al., 2011). In the nursing literature the steps are similar, but an additional step for dissemination was added by Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2011):
- Ask a clinical guiding question.
- Search for teh best evidence.
- Critically appraise the evidence.
- Integrate the evidence with one's clinical expertise and client preferences to make the best clinical decision.
- Evaluate the outcome(s) of the EBP practice decision or change based on evidence of the EBP decision or change.
- Disseminate the outcome.
