Tips for writing your EBP Summary
· You do not need a cover page. On a Word Document write your name on the top. The summary needs to only be one to two paragraphs with the reference on the bottom.
· Be sure the beginning of your summary makes sense. Examples are listed below:
o “In a study conducted by Smith et al., …”
o “In the article XYZ, the authors discussed strategies to …”
o “In a metanalysis that included 3 hospitals over a 5-year period of time….”
· Include the specifics of the study and the results (ex. What population was studied? What percentage did falls reduce by?
· Please proofread and utilize the spellcheck and grammar features Word has to offer to correct spelling/grammar and punctuation errors. Proofread again after corrections to ensure it makes sense prior to submitting

Email the summary to me for approval. Once approved you will copy/past it into the EBP worksheet under Step 5. Please add your name to the top so it is clear whose work it is, and you receive credit.
