UPDATE 2026/2027
Evidence based practice the collection, interpretation, and integration of
valid research evidence,
combined with clinical expertise and an
understanding of patient and family
values and preferences to inform
clinical decision making
EBP Examples of = infection control, hand washing,
patient safety/ fall precautions,
pain management, mental health screening etc.
,What are the 7 steps for EBP Step 0: Cultivate a spirit of inquiry
Step 1: Ask a clinical
questions in PICOT format
Step 2: Search for the
best evidence
Step 3: Critically appraise the evidence
Step 4:Integrate the evidence with clinical
expertise and patient preferences and values
Step 5: Evaluate the outcomes of the practice
decisions or changes based on evidence
Step 6: disseminate EBP results
critical appraisal the process that objectively and critically
evaluates a research report's content for
scientific merit and application to practice.
What three things does critical appraisal determine 1. Level of evidence
2. How well the research was conducted
3. How useful it is to practice
When critically appraising research you should
consider validity, usefulness, and
theoretical framework (3)...
, Level I of evidence What level of evidence is: systematic
review or meta-analysis of randomized
controlled trials
Level II of evidence What level of evidence is: randomized
controlled trials
Level III of evidence What level of evidence is: quasi-experimental
studies
Level IV of evidence What level of evidence is: nonexperimental
studies
Level V of evidence What level of evidence is: metasynthesis

and authorities, expert committee reports
or organizations, not based on research
Level VIII of evidence What level of evidence is: theory based
