Evidence-based Medicine: Assess your performance

An interdisciplinary guide to EBM resources.

Step 5

Assess: Evaluate your performance (are you improving outcomes in your patient?)

Self-evaluation

Ask yourself:

  1. Did you ask an answerable clinical question?
  2. Did you find the best external evidence?
  3. Did you critically appraise the evidence and evaluate it for its validity and potential usefulness?
  4. Did you integrate critical appraisal of the best available external evidence from systematic research with individual clinical expertise in personal daily clinical practice?
