Asking the Searchable and Answerable Question

Determine the type of question (therapy, dx, prognosis)

Finding the right information in the most efficient manner is key to successfully practicing evidence-based decision making.

Developing the question requires:

You may have a question about:

Intervention (that is, treatment)—for example, in adults with rheumatoid arthritis, is education about joint protection techniques effective in reducing hand pain and improving function?

Diagnosis for example, in adults admitted to a Coronary care Unit, which elements of serial diagnostic testing are the most sensitive and specific predictors of cardiac involvement?

Prognosis for example, in people undergoing total knee replacement for osteoarthritis, what improvement in walking ability is expected after six weeks?
