, identify an evidence-based problem from a clinical setting (such as long-term care, home care, or community agency). Develop a well-written clinical question using the PICOT, PICO, or PIO method

An introduction to the problem, including your personal
connection to this problem and a brief summary of relevant
background information
• Information about the population who will be affected by the
resulting project
• A well-written PICOT/PICO/PIO question, including your
rationale for why this is an EBP or QI question and not a
research question
• An assessment of the feasibility of, and potential barriers to,
the change you’re proposing
• Identification of the stakeholders involved in the practice
change or quality improvement (for example, the agency
from whom you would need permission to complete the
project)
A note about the question: Learners sometimes have problems writing an
EBP/QI question but write a research question instead. An EBP/QI
question should never use the words how or why. Those terms belong in a
research question. Your question should acknowledge that evidence
already exists. Below are some examples.
