Evidence-Based Practice Case Studies

The purpose of posting your Evidence-Based Practice case study is to reflect on your individual practice and how you have made a difference in a patient's/family's healthcare experience while implementing evidence-based practice. Please post your case study with any introduction you would like.

You may want to consider including:

  • The case scenario (what prompted you to use evidence);
  • The clinical issue (what issue did you attempt to address);
  • The PICOT question (what question did you attempt to answer);
  • Your evidence journey (how you engaged the evidence - could be how you searched for, found, synthesized the evidence or how someone brought the evidence to you);
  • Implementation of evidence (what you did with the evidence);
  • The outcome (what difference did it make to use the evidence and how do you think things would have been different if you had not);
  • Reflection (a: evaluation of your contribution to the Evidence-Based Practice Process [i.e. clinician's expertise]; b: evaluation of the contribution of patient's preferences and values)
  • Your experience may be posted on this web site as our Featured Evidence-Based Practice Case Study
