research, organizational experience (including quality improvement and financial data), clinical
expertise, expert opinion, and patient preferences ensures clinical decisions are based on all
available evidence. EBP enhances efficacy (the ability to reach a desired result); efficiency (the
achievement of a desired result with minimum expense, time, and effort); and effectiveness
(the ability to produce a desired result). Additionally, EBP weighs, benefit, and cost against a
backdrop of patient preferences. - Answer
