Using PICO(t) Format to Formulate Clinical Questions

Question

Assessment Description

A PICOT starts with a designated patient population in a particular clinical area and identifies clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care. The intervention should be an independent, specified nursing change intervention. The intervention cannot require a provider prescription. Include a comparison to a patient population not currently receiving the intervention, and specify the timeframe needed to implement the change process.

Formulate a PICOT statement using the PICOT format. 

Here is an article to help guide you in the development of your PICO(t) statement:
