Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) is the integration of best scientific evidence, clinical experience, and a consideration of preferences, rights, and values into clinical decision-making. EBM can be thought of as the translation of research evidence into clinical practice.
Section I: Preappraised Resources Although rigorous systematic reviews and meta-analyses may sit at the top of the hierarchy of evidence, they are often too complicated and lengthy to be useful to clinicians at the point-of-care. This section of the EBEM page includes summaries of systematic reviews and short-cut reviews that have been screened for direct relevance to Emergency Medicine practice. The synopses of systematic reviews selected from the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and from the JAMA Rationale Clinical Examination Series include short clinical commentaries done by experienced practitioners familiar with those practice areas.
