In order to effectively differentiate the QI, research and EBP, defining the three would help to formulate a basic foundation on what is involved in each of the three In order to effectively differentiate the QI, research and EBP, defining the three would help to formulate a basic foundation on what is involved in each of the three. Shirley et al. (2011) defines QI as being data driven and that it involves the systematic approach by which individuals work together to improve specific internal system, processes, costs, productivity, and quality outcomes within an organization (p.61).

EBP helps to find the best evidence that could help the current situation by gathering several sources, may either be internal or external for that reason when it comes to funding it comes from whichever source either external or internal. As for research this can either just reinforce the existing knowledge or bring up new information. When it comes to collecting information for QI, the information is collected in rapid manner, while for research due to the involvement of the IRB and to ensure that the subjects are protected the information collection may slightly be
