- Information technology offers tools to manage and access research.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) as a strategy for clinicians.
- To outline EBM's integration of information technology and clinical epidemiology.
- To highlight EBM's role in acquiring and applying research evidence.
Main Methods:
- Integrating information technology advancements.
- Applying principles of clinical epidemiology.
- Developing methodologies for research synthesis.
Main Results:
- EBM provides a coherent strategy for evidence acquisition.
- Research synthesis is a fundamental component of EBM.
- EBM facilitates the translation of research into clinical practice.
Conclusions:
