4] EMB model 1: Creating answerable clinical questions.

The practice of EBM should start with a well formulated clinical question.

A good question should be clear, directly focused on the problem and answerable by medical literature research.

 A good clinical question has 3-4 components:

  • Patient or problem
  • Intervention, test or exposure of interest
  • Comparison interventions (if applicable)
  • Outcome(s)

Question should then be made using the PICO (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) or PIO (Patient, Intervention, Outcome) format .
