Definition[edit | edit source]
Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) is a systematic approach to clinical problem solving which allows the integration of the best available research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values. It is a movement which aims to increase the use of high quality clinical research in clinical decision making.
History[edit | edit source]
The term "Evidence-Based Medicine" was first used in the 1990s by a group of clinicians and researchers at McMaster University. The concept has since spread worldwide and has become a key aspect of modern medical practice.
Principles[edit | edit source]
EBM involves the following key principles:
- The use of the best available evidence in making decisions about individual patient care.
- The integration of clinical expertise with the best available external clinical evidence from systematic research.
- The inclusion of patient values and preferences in decision making.
