Healthcare Management

Evidence-Based Medicine and the Changing Nature of Healthcare

---

The rapid pace of scientific discovery and technological innovation over the last several decades is unprecedented and raises the prospect of achieving dramatic improvements in the nation’s health and well-being. Yet stakeholders from across the healthcare system, from patients to practitioners to payers, are demanding fundamental improvements to a system that is seen as costly, fragmented, and ineffective. Because of its emphasis on integrating the best available external evidence with clinical experience, evidence-based medicine (EBM) provides a guiding framework for the development of systems and approaches necessary to deliver the promise of 21st century health care—in which knowledge is both applied and generated as a natural outgrowth of the care process, to ensure delivery of the care most appropriate for each individual patient.
