Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 3 EBP 0352 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Rebuilding a Search That Returns Too Little
Captions available
The idea
When a combined search returns too few records, the sets can be rejoined with OR rather than AND to widen the result.
In practice
A combination returning one record, rejoined to return twenty-two.
Where people slip
The wider result answers a wider question. What was gained in volume was paid for in precision, and the report should say so.
