EVIDENCE-BASED MEDICINE

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is a cutting-edge concept based in science with enormous implications for the healthcare industry. The goal is to systematize the wealth of information on clinical services and medications, including drug studies, so that objective recommendations can be applied to improving care for individual patients. The controversy: Evidence-based medicine can be based on a variety of guidelines, some of which emphasize reducing the costs of care over improving its quality.
