Evidence-based strategies to provide quality care [Session]

Abstract

The purpose of this presentation is to suggest methods of EBP retrieval using a non-PICO format most appropriate to the clinical issue, study design, and level of the student or practicing clinician. The tendency to default to PICO may result in difficulty locating guidelines and algorithms for specific patient populations.
