ICOT Discussion Overview This discussion includes selective content and graded assignments that provide knowledge and allow the learner to progress as a consumer of research. The PICOT approach to formatting clinical research questions has been in the literature for at least the last decade. It is a structured format to use for organizing documentation of research findings and formulating or structuring questions. The use of PICOT helps assure that the question is focused and defined. Each letter represents a specific part of the question as listed below: P = Describes the patient population or patient condition of interest I = Describes the intervention or treatment that is used C = Describes an alternate, or comparison intervention O = Defines the specific result or outcome T = Defines the time (this element is not always included) Objectives Upon the completion of this discussion activity, you will be able to: Identify the elements of PICOT. Identify the use of the PICOT method within research articles. Apply the PICOT format to culturally sensitive, patient centered clinical reasoning.
