The goal of the EBP process is to promote change in client care based on the best evidence. This topic creates a direct connection between the PICOT question and the concept of initiating a change in nursing practice. The work you completed in this course (utilizing databases, identifying a relevant clinical question, forming the PICOT question, and gathering the evidence) constitutes the initial steps required in the development of the capstone change project.
Objectives:
- Discuss the application of the PICOT question to a change project.
- Identify challenges associated with a change project.
