The need to identify new clinical questions and seek best evidence to guide practice during the delivery of care is something all health care clinicians encounter. Health care information to guide practice changes rapidly, as do standards for care, best practice guidelines, and regulatory standards. Providers (physicians, advanced practice nurses APRNs, physician assistants), bedside nurses, and other health care clinicians need just-in-time tools to facilitate staying informed of current best evidence. Electronic health record (EHR) platforms often contain clinical decision-support tools to guide practice; however, factors that impact effectiveness of information disseminated this way include clinician trust, alert fatigue, and perceived accuracy of the alert. Acquiring skills and resources to stay informed of current best evidence is essential in today’s fast paced health care environment.
