Original The conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of the individual Definition patient. It means integrating individual clinical expertise with the best available external clinical evidence from systematic research : (Sackett D, 1996) Working The integration of best available evidence with clinical expertise Definition and patient values into the decision making process for patient care (Sackett D, 2002) : 15 Drug+Information+-+Week+1+2024+-+Student+Copy - August 27, 2024  COMPONENTS OF EBM Evidence Information retrieval: knowledge and skills Evaluate and interpret Best Synthesize the evidence Available Patient Values Evidence Patient preferences & concerns: cultural influences; religious/spiritual influences; psychosocial issues; age- Clinical Expertise related issues Competent practitioner: clinical skills, past Patient Clinical Other issues: insurance status; experiences, knowledge of disease & therapy Values Expertise access to care Knowledge of patient: health status, risk factors, personal values & expectations Knowledge of support services/network What do you do with the evidence?
