Step 1: Form a clinical question using the PICOT model
Step 2: Collect the strongest, most relevant evidence to answer the question
Step 3: Critically appraise and synthesize the evidence
Step 4: Integrate the evidence with clinician expertise and the patient values to guide the implementation of a practice decision or change
Step 5: Evaluate the practice change based on measurable outcomes
Step 6: Disseminate information about the outcome of the practice change so that other clinicians are well-informed of the change and can potentially apply it to their practice
