1.goal of EBP: is improvement of systems and microsystems within
healthcare, with these improvements based on science
2.STEEEP principles: The Institute of Medicine (IOM) expert panel
issued rec- ommendations for urgent action to redesign healthcare so
that it is safe, timely, effective, efficient, equitable, and patientcentered
3.(S) in STEEEP: Safe-Avoid injuries to patients from the care that is
intended to help them.
4.(T) in STEEEP: Timely-Reduce waits and sometimes harmful delays
for both those who receive and those who give care.
5.(E) in STEEEP: Effective-Provide services based on scientific
knowledge to all who could benefit, and refrain from providing services
to those not likely to benefit.

6.(E) in STEEEP: Efficient-Avoid waste, including waste of equipment,
supplies, ideas, and energy.
7.(E) in STEEEP: Equitable-Provide care that does not vary in quality
because of personal characteristics such as gender, ethnicity,
geographic location, and socioeconomic status.
8.(P) in STEEEP: Patient-centered Provide care that is respectful of and
respon- sive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values, and
