Sackett's Principles of Evidence-Based Medicine

Sackett’s Principles of Evidence-Based Medicine emphasize integrating the best available scientific research with clinical expertise and patient values. The approach involves asking clear questions, searching for relevant evidence, critically appraising that evidence for quality and relevance, and applying it thoughtfully to individual patient situations. This ensures medical decisions are grounded in reliable information while respecting patient preferences. Overall, it promotes informed, effective, and personalized healthcare by balancing scientific data, clinician experience, and patient needs.
