The audit step in Evidence-Based Practice is one of self-evaluation. Self-evaluation of performance in EBM is essentially the process of answering questions such as the following:
- Am I asking well‐formulated answerable questions?
- Am I becoming more efficient in my searching for the best evidence?
- Am I critically appraising evidence for its validity and usefulness?
- Am I integrating critical appraisals into my practice?
- Is what I have learned been translated into better clinical practice?
