Protecting generalism: moving on from evidence-based medicine?
Evidence-based medicine (EBM) was first described as an approach to teaching the practice of medicine. EBM recognised a need to support healthcare professionals in maintaining an up-to-date working account of the ever-expanding scientific knowledge about illness and health care. Defined as the ‘judicious application of best evidence in making clinical decisions about this individual’,EBM acknowledges both the value and necessity of external research evidence integrated with clinical expertise in clinical decision making.
