"Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients. " -- D.L. Sackett
EBM borrows tools from epidemiology, statistics, information technology, and clinical medicine to provide physicians and other health care providers with an opportunity to improve the health care of their patients through efficient and continued re-appraisal of how they practice their discipline.
