Develop a PICOT In a document of between 700 and 1100 words (3 to 4 pages), identify an evidence-based problem from a clinical setting (such as long-term care, home care, or community agency). Develop a well-written clinical question using the PICOT, PICO, or PIO method (P = Population, I = Implementation, C= Comparison, O = Outcome, T = Time). In your assignment, be sure to include the following: • An introduction to the problem, including your personal connection to this problem and a brief summary of relevant background information • Information about the population who will be affected by the resulting project • A well-written PICOT/PICO/PIO question, including your rationale for why this is an EBP or QI question and not a research question • An assessment of the feasibility of, and potential barriers to, the change you're proposing • Identification of the stakeholders involved in the practice change or quality improvement (for example, the agency from whom you would need permission to complete the project) A note about the question: Learners sometimes have problems writing an EBP/QI question but write a research question instead. An EBP/QI question should never use the words how or why. Those terms belong in a research question. Your question should acknowledge that evidence already exists. Below are some examples.
