1. Final PICO Question:

1. Identify a minimum of 3 sources for evidence that you used to contribute to the development of your PICO question. By the end of the course you will have applied at least 4-6 sources to your poster development. The PICO process is not the end of your search for evidence supporting your project design- it is only the beginning….use APA format. The IHI and AHRQ (Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality(, and other specialty nursing sites like Critical Care Nursing and Oncology Nursing, to name just a few, can be very good sources. Depending on your project focus, the IHI and AHRQ sites are rich sources for white papers and QI design studies that may give you some ideas going forward.
