Specific resources to help you to carry out the five steps of EBM
(adapted from Sackett et al., 2000):
  1. CONVERT the need for information into answerable questions.


  2. TRACK DOWN the best evidence with which to answer the questions.


  3. CRITICALLY APPRAISE the evidence for its applicability, impact, and validity.


  4. INTEGRATE the critical appraisal with our clinical expertise and with our patient's unique biology, values, and circumstances.


    • UNDER CONSTRUCTION (links to examples, how to elicit patient values, how to integrate patient values into decision making)

  5. EVALUATE our effectiveness and efficiency in executing steps 1-4 and seek ways to improve them both for next time.
