Questions and answers in evidence-based patient care

C Sathorn et al. Br Dent J. .

Abstract

Evidence-based healthcare has become the mainstream of current healthcare practices, yet there seem to be many misunderstandings concerning this concept. This paper reviews several aspects of the concept of evidence-based healthcare in a simple question-and-answer format. The areas considered include: the significance of the evidence-based concept in clinical practice, the method of conducting a detailed electronic search of the literature, and the interpretation and application of research evidence to patients and immediate clinical applications.
