The purpose of this evidence-informed decision making tool is to provide a mechanism to:
Track progress through the stages of the EIDM process (Step 1: Define; Step 2: Search; Step 3: Appraise; Step 4: Synthesize; Step 5: Adapt; Step 6: Implement; Step 7: Evaluate. NCCMT Stages in Evidence-Informed Public Health, 2009)
Link practical, relevant tools and resources used at each stage
Document links within the organization (intranet, shared folders and drives) that can be used to share the process with others who may refer to it in the future
