Evidence-Based Medicine Reviews

A Single, Easy-to-Use Source for Essential EBM Content

Ovid’s Evidence-Based Medicine Reviews (EBMR) support the international movement towards integrating EBM into clinical practice by bringing this “best evidence” from medical research to the bedside, clinic, and community.

Healthcare professionals around the world look to evidence-based medicine (EBM) as the new standard for clinical care. EBM promotes care that is both experience-based and clinically-proven by integrating the practitioner’s clinical expertise with the best available clinical evidence.

EBM is supported by healthcare institutions worldwide, including the American College of Physicians (ACP), the Cochrane Collaboration, and the NHS Centre for Reviews and Dissemination (CRD).
