2) Collect the most relevant and best evidence.
3) Critically appraise the evidence gathered.
4) Integrate all evidence with one's clinical expertise and patient preferences and values in making a practice decision or change.
5) Evaluate the practice decision or change.
6) Communicate results of the change.
