EBP is a systematic approach to determine the most current and relevant evidence on which to base patient care decisions. Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt recommend a six-step process for EBP:
1) Ask a clinical question.
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.
