What is Evidence‐Based Medicine: The Process about?

The process we use in this book has been termed evidence-based medicine (EBM). The first question is "What is EBM?" EBM has been defined as "the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of patients. " 1 However, evidence alone does not define EBM. Instead, EBM occurs within the context of clinical expertise and incorporates each patient's unique circumstances and preferences. The best way to describe EBM in the emergency department (ED) is as a process by which we: (i) ask relevant, focused clinical questions to answer (ii) search for literature to answer this question, (iii) critically appraise the literature and make conclusions with an understanding of the strength of evidence behind particular recommendations, and (iv) apply the evidence to the way that individual patients in the ED are managed. In this book, we use the process of EBM to answer important and relevant clinical questions regarding the use of diagnostic testing and clinical decision rules in the ED. Most of the questions we ask and attempt to answer have to do with how to use, when to use, and how much to trust diagnostic testing and clinical decision ru
