This volume of Hand Clinics will be devoted to the increasingly
important and relevant topic of Evidence Based Medicine or the more
inclusive term Evidence-based Practice (EBP). EBP is the
integration of individual clinical expertise with the best
available external clinical evidence from systematic research and
the integration of patients' values and expectations. It is now
recognized worldwide as a foundation of quality care and all
surgeons and therapists must embrace the concepts and learn the
methods. In order to help you become an evidence-based
practitioner, this issue will help you develop new skills in find
and appraise the best evidence embedded within the volumes of good
and bad information available. The issue will focus on how to apply
these methods to hand surgery and rehabilitation. The Centers for
Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS), health insurers, and
certification boards will provide the impetus for all of us to put
into action evidence-based practice. This approach to practice will
lead to changes in our behavior. CMS introduced a
pay-for-performance (P4P) initiative to promote high quality
medical care based on evidence-based medicine by reimbursing top
performing hospitals at a higher level than poor performing
hospitals. The primary objectives of this program include
increasing clinical quality and saving lives. A secondary objective
is to improve the cost-effectiveness of health care delivery.
Governmental programs like these along with practice guidelines
will lead to new expectations on your practice. Whoever controls
these initiatives and guidelines, controls medicine and ultimately
the flow of money. You don't want to be left behind. This issue
will provide you with the basics to get started on your way to
practicing evidence-based medicine.
