504 Discussion


Describe the databases you have found for the evidence related to the clinical question you have identified. Provide detail on the 2–3 databases (such as PubMed, Cochrane, EBSCO, CINAHL®, etc.) defining the key differences in their search functions.

Instructions: 1 page and a half. At least 3 references. APA style.

clinical question:   Based on my clinical question, the strongest evidence would come from RCTs or systematic reviews/meta-analyses of RCTs. The evidence-based pyramid chart in the textbook illustrates this hierarchy of evidence, with systematic reviews and meta-analyses at the top of the pyramid and expert opinion at the bottom (Melnyk & Fine out-Overholt, 2022). To determine the strength of the evidence related to my clinical question, I would need to conduct a systematic search of the literature for RCTs or systematic reviews/meta-analyses that have investigated the effectiveness of EDIS in reducing ED wait time and overcrowding compared to a manual approach. I will refer to the evidence-based levels chart to evaluate the quality of the evidence and determine whether it is strong enough to support a recommendation for or against the implementation of EDIS in the ED (Melnyk et al., 2018).
