Scope of coverage
The scope of the picoElementDefintion resource is to describe a "PICO" element that knowledge (evidence, assertion, recommendation) is about. PICO stands for:
- Population - the population within which exposures and outcomes are being considered
- Intervention - the conditional state or exposure state being described for which one is expressing the risk of or effect on an outcome
- Comparison - the alternative conditional state or alternative exposure state when one is comparing states for the effect on an outcome
- Outcome - the result or effect of an intervention or exposure in a population
PICO (and its variants like PECO or PICOT) is a universal acronym used in evidence-based medicine communities to clearly express research questions and evidence findings.
The picoElementDefinition resource allows expression of the components of a PICO question in codeable and reusable formats.
