"Evidence-based
medicine (EBM) is the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use
of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual
patients. The practice of evidence-based medicine means integrating
individual clinical expertise with the best available external clinical
evidence from systematic research."*
In the care of patients,
evidence-based medicine incorporates three distinct components: clinical
expertise, research evidence, and patient preference. |
