I like simple solutions: paper notebooks that require no batteries or software, pencils that write upside down, and bicycles, which keep me and the planet fit. In this issue, we have a couple of low-technology suggestions for the problem of getting evidence into practice. First is a Notebook on the EBM step that comes after the clinical bottom line—what else do we need to do to implement the evidence? We may need new equipment, or more information, or a change to a clinical form, or a reminder set up, etc. These "Next Action" steps take only a few more minutes but add considerable leverage for teams trying to improve their care of patients. A further step again is the need for good communication of evidence to patients. There have been many sophisticated decision tools developed, but a neat and simple paper solution is to keep blank sheets of "100 faces"
