Key Steps in the Evidence Based Process

1. Framimg the question.
2. Finding the evidence.
3. Assessing.
4. Decision making.
One approach to framing the question is PICO, population, intervention, comparison and outcome. The  question should include all four of these criteria. This information can be found on the website http://www.asha.org/members/ebp/framing.htm
an example of framing the question would be: population: MI patients, Intervention: Cardiac rehab, Comparison: No cardiac rehab, Outcome: Patient will not experience another MI when returning to normal activities. "Do patients who recieve cardiac rehab as soon as possible after recovery more likely to return to their normal activities  better than those who do not recieve cardiac rehab?
