evidence-based practice clinical decision making that integrates the best available research with clinical
expertise and patient characteristics and preferences
EBP steps 1. Recognize the need for information
2. Establish the purpose
3. Formulate focused questions
4. Identify target resources
5. Perform the search
6. Organize findings
7. Appraise trustworthiness
8. Assess relevance
9. Select action
10. Implement and evaluate
Evidence-based Pyramid Types of evidence assigned by level:
Top (best evidence) to bottom
1.) Meta-analyses & systematic reviews
2.) Evidence-Based reviews
3.) Randomized control trials
4.) Case-control studies, case series, case reports
5.) Textbooks, review articles, expert opinions & laboratory research

Qualitative Research Empirical research where the data are not in the form of numbers. Research is
multimethod in focus, involving an interpretive, naturalistic approach to its
subject matter. Researchers study things in their natural settings, attempting to
make sense of/interpret phenomena in terms of the meanings people bring
them.
qualitative information Involves a descriptive judgement using concept words instead of numbers.
Quantitative Research Gathers data in a numerical form which can be put into categories, or in rank
order, or measured in units of measurement. This type of data can be used to
construct graphs and tables of raw data. Researchers aim to establish general
laws of behavior/phenomenon across different settings/contexts. Research is
used to test theories and ultimately support or reject it.
quantitative information Involves a measurable quantity- numbers are used. For example: Mass,
temperature, time, length. Often called data, but can be things other than
numbers.
case study The study of a bounded system (a case or multiple cases) over time through
detailed, in-depth data collection involving multiple sources of information.
