Clinical inquiry in healthcare refers to the process of asking
questions, investigating, and analyzing information to improve patient care and
outcomes. It involves a systematic approach to gathering evidence and applying
it to clinical practice. The goal of clinical inquiry is to enhance the quality
and safety of healthcare by integrating the best available evidence into
decision-making processes.
Consists of:
1. Clinical Question:
In patients
with acute low back pain, how
effective and safe are muscle relaxants/NSAIDs combinations
in reducing pain and improving functional outcomes when compared with only
NSAIDs?
Other
option: muscle relaxation vs NSAID
muscle relaxation vs Physical therapy
the writer
can modify the question like other option (must include low back pain and
muscle relaxant) above based on references you find.
2. Evidence-Based Answer
(Put your
answer here, remember to state the strength of the recommendation and what is based
on.) Using the Strength of Research Taxonomy (SORT) model, rate the answer as
A, B, C.
3. Evidence Summary
(Summarize
research listed in references that you used to come up with your answer. Be
sure to mention the things you have covered in research eval such as Confidence
interval, number of individuals/observations in the study, number needed to
treat, P-value, statistical significance, ect.)
4. Recommendations from others
(List any
recommendations from governing bodies pertaining to your clinical question for
example American Academy of Cardiology recommends XXX or advises against …)
