Using evidence-based practice to solve a problem involves gathering and analyzing relevant research and other resources to determine the most effective course of action. By finding research, quality improvement study outcomes, and information from experts to change the intervention, the nurse is using evidence-based practice to inform their decision making. Simply reapplying the intervention or evaluating what went wrong may not provide adequate information to make informed changes. Finding a research study about the intervention is a good starting point, but it does not involve looking at a range of resources, such as quality improvement data or expert opinions.
