Q

3 principles of EBM

A
  1. high quality health care depends on objective and clinically relevant information
  2. there is a hierarchy of evidence where some are better than others
  3. scientific data alone not sufficient for making clinical decisions about individual patients
64
Q

cons of EBM

A
  • just a new label
  • identifies statistically significant benefits that may be marginal in clinical practice
  • generated a massive volume of evidence and guidelines which are unmanageable
  • causes mindless application of population studies to treat individuals
65
Q

pros of EBM

A
  • decisions are made on stronger evidence
  • only one part of the process
  • produce expert judgement in a format that clinicians can understand
  • last step is to decide whether info is applicable to individual patient
66
Q

steps in practicing EBM (6)

A
  1. craft question
  2. search medical literature
