The implementation of evidence-based practice involves several steps:
1. Question Formation: Developing a clear, focused clinical question. 2. Evidence Acquisition: Searching for the best available evidence from credible sources like medical journals and databases. 3. Evidence Appraisal: Critically assessing the quality and applicability of the evidence. 4. Integration: Combining evidence with clinical expertise and patient values to make informed decisions. 5. Evaluation: Assessing the outcomes of the decision and making necessary adjustments.
