Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 2 EBP 0169 short lesson, about 20 seconds
C — Comparison of Interest
Captions available
The idea
The C in PICOT is the comparison — what the intervention or issue is being weighed against.
In practice
A new practice compared with the practice currently in place.
Where people slip
Current practice is a real comparison. Some clinicians write "usual care", which is weaker than naming what usual care actually is.
