Evidence-based medicine (EBM): what long-term care providers need to know
Abstract
Evidence-based medicine (EBM) has been widely used in medicine for 2 decades. Recently, EBM has become a central part of reforming nursing homes and quality improvement. It is very important for long-term care providers to practice EBM. This article briefly introduces the concept of EBM; addresses some potential benefits, harms, and challenges of practicing EBM in long-term care settings; and promotes EBM and its appropriate use among long-term care providers.
