Preferred term

evaluating and integrating research into clinical practice  

Definition

  • The impetus for evidence-based medicine (EBM), or its younger brother, evidence-based practice, has been that it takes too long for efficacious and effective treatments to be brought to bear in routine clinical practice. The usual time given is a 17-year delay between demonstration of efficacy and routine practice, although the evidence for this specific time frame is sparse.
