It involves a two-step technique for processing raw information into fact.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, we need to recognize situations or raw information that don\u2019t seem quite right. The raw information can be from any source:\n<ul>\n<li>Direct observation (seeing, hearing, touching, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Results of tests (lab values, images, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Displays from monitors and devices (monitors, gauges, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Verbal or written (orders, patient history, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Guidance documents (policies, procedures, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Next, we must validate and verify the raw information:\n<ul>\n<li>Validate is an internal check \u2013 does this situation or information that has been given to me make sense with what I know to be true or right? (Does this make sense to me?)<\/li>\n<li>Verify is an external check of the information with an independent and credible source to corroborate our thinking.
