The historical and contemporary failures of various marine fisheries have led to critical assessments of management practices. Debate over approaches is contentious and varied, yet most agree that sustainability should be a primary goal in fisheries and resource management. Consequently, many now advocate Ecosystem Based Management (EBM) as a new approach to resource management, and numerous go...

BACKGROUND GPs report various barriers to the use and practice of evidence-based medicine (EBM). A review of research on these barriers may help solve problems regarding the uptake of evidence in clinical outpatient practice. AIM To determine the barriers encountered by GPs in the practice of EBM and to come up with solutions to the barriers identified. DESIGN A systematic review of the lit...

BACKGROUND Evidence-based medicine (EBM), a comprehensive method to support clinical decision making by using evidence, has been instrumental in clinical specialties but not yet in insurance medicine. AIMS We developed and evaluated a workshop on EBM for Dutch social insurance physicians who perform disability evaluations. METHODS Sixty-six social insurance physicians followed a 1-day intro...

Background: “The aim of this study was to formatively evaluate this module; the broader purpose to assess the usefulness of having an online rather than a face-to-face module on EBM..” The objectives need to be more specific: were the authors trying to evaluate the module in terms of its effectiveness in delivery, userfriendliness or relevance to practice for example? the second half of the sen...

In addition to time pressures that we encounter when searching for evidence to support care decisions for individual patients, it may be difficult for clinicians to apply the evidence that we find. The rate limiting step may not be doing the search, but the steps needed in “setting evidence-based medicine (EBM) in motion.” We present an example of a search for evidence by a Physician Assistant ...

Since the 1990s, the concept of ‘evidence based medicine’ (EBM) has received growing interest. Its main rationale was the recognition that systematic synthesis of evidence from high quality clinical research should be guiding clinical practice. Important developments in EBM included the introduction of structured abstracts and of systematic reviews. Nowadays, EBM can be described as ‘healthcare...

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) integrates individual clinical expertise with the best available external evidence in the care of individual patients. By enabling clinicians to directly appraise and apply current clinical research, EBM deals with the problems of deterioration in clinical performance, information overload, and lag in application of research findings to clinical practice. Thus, EBM...
