Is it an issue you have encountered? Is it posing problems in your practice? Is it a national health care issue focused on ambulatory care? Could the issue/solutions that you recommend be extrapolated to other ambulatory care nurses in their practice?</p> <p>EVIDENCE-BASED - Are you able to find pertinent, current (within the last five years) published evidence on the nature of the problem, or possible solutions? If not, would the topic be a prime opportunity for research within your area or in conjunction with other ambulatory care nurses in their practice?</p> <p>BEST PRACTICE - Can you define the problem and solutions in the context of your ambulatory care practice?</p> </div> <h3><a href="#vpguide-evidence">Searching for the Evidence: The Literature Review</a></h3> <div class="pane"> <p>As part of a comprehensive review of the literature for your manuscript, it is necessary to search for the evidence already published on your topic. The evidence is used to support information and ideas in your manuscript.</p> <p>To begin with, use the PICO format to formulate your search.</p> <p>P = PATIENT/PROBLEM - Who is the patient, population, or problem that you are searching?</p> <p>I = INTERVENTION - What are you planning to do to address the identified issue, specific treatment, test, therapy, medication, or teaching approach?</p> <p>C = COMPARISON - What is the current practice or approach to this issue?</p> <p>O = OUTCOME - What results do you plan to achieve? How will care be improved or changed to relieve symptoms or to improve function?</p> <p>In addition to formulating specific parameters for the question, it is important to find the appropriate database in which to search for the evidence. Examples are:</p> <p>CINAHL@ - provides indexing for more than 3,000 journals from the fields of nursing and allied health.</p> <p>EBM Reviews - Cochrane Collaboration - Cochrane Review provides systematic reviews and primary research in human health care and health policy and is recognized internationally as the highest standard in evidence-based health care.</p> <p>EMBASE@ - a European bibliographic database that provides information on medical topics as well as tracking of drug adverse events and comparison of drug therapies for disease using evidence-based medicine research.</p> <p>MEDLINE@ - contains journal citations and abstracts for biomedical literature from around the world.</p> <p>PsychINFO@ - provides abstracts of systematic coverage of the psychological literature from the 1800s to the present, as well as free access to abstracts, may have links to full text articles.</p> <p>PubMed@ - National Institute of Health database for peer-reviewed primary research reports in the life sciences.</p> <p>When in doubt, ask a medical librarian to assist you!</p> </div> <h3><a href="#vpguide-generaloutline">When Writing Your Manuscript, Use the Following General Outline:</a></h3> <div class="pane"> <p>INTRODUCTION - Problem > Significance > Purpose</p> <p>BODY - Method > Results/Evaluation</p> <p>CONCLUSION - Summary > Discussion > Recommendations</p> </div> <h3><a href="#vpguide-aftercomplete">After You Complete Your Manuscript</a></h3> <div class="pane"> <p>Encourage a co-worker to review your manuscript, focusing on the following attributes:</p> <ul> <li>Are the ideas clear and concise?</li> <li>Can the reader follow the flow of the article (i.e. identification of the issue, evidence gathered, possible solutions, identified solutions, lessons learned)?</li> <li>Is the manuscript grammatically correct?
