The first step of the evidence-based practice (EBP) process is to Ask the Question. This aligns with the Identify step in MUSC's IMPROVE model.

A Problem Statement or Opportunity Statement will define your entire project from beginning to end.
- Problem Statement: for an existing process or service you want to improve or change.
- Opportunity Statement: for when you want to create a new process or service.
