The concept of evidence-based medicine was launched in 1991 as a
new paradigm to inform medical practice and has risen to be
regarded as the gold standard. It rapidly gained the attention of
medics, health service managers and the general media as it
presented a means to improve efficiency and effectiveness of
service delivery. Despite its stunning success in capturing the
health agenda, the campaign that launched evidence-based medicine
has also attracted criticism, particularly from clinicians and
philosophers concerned about its selective views of knowledge and
evidence, and for its denigration of reasoning, clinical experience
and judgement.Evidence-Based Medicine traces this movement from its
launch to its meteoric rise, examining what it has done for
healthcare and medicine in the context of changes in science policy
and the long-running criticism held against the movement for its
inherent weaknesses.As evidence-based medicine will remain an
important feature of healthcare in the decades to come, this book
is perfect for healthcare professionals, medical scientists, health
service managers and public health experts looking for a critical
examination of the topic.
