• Identify the application of the author’s conclusion to clinical practice.
• Identify the limitations of the article’s outcome as it applies to the existing body of evidence and to clinical practice.

Introduction and Standard Questions

• In an effort to improve participation and productivity, we have created five standard questions which will be used for each monthly Journal Club Chat. The five questions will be the same each month. 
• What is the research topic/problem?
• What is the purpose of the study?
• What is the level of evidence? What qualifies it to be that level?
• What were the results of the study?
• Will this change your practice?  Why or why not and how?
