Editorial
Since its inception almost two decades ago, EBM has been a cornerstone in the clinical decision-making process. Intuitively, considering the close relationship between medicine and health policy, EBM would seem the natural model on which to base decision-making in evidence-based policy. But does this work in practice? Here, Mark Dobrow highlights the divide between the parameters of the two decision-making processes, and questions whether adoption of EBM approaches within a policy context is achievable.
