Evidence-Based Medicine and Internet Journal of Health

Abstract

In this editorial reader can find an introductory comment on this issue of Internet Journal of Health. Many contributors to this number submitted their numerical data on health related issue either in society or in hospital and express it in number which are subjected to statistical analysis to see that the findings of their study are as near to the truth as can be. There are general tendency since two decade to support evidence based medicine and evidence based healthcare. By doing that it only governs decision making more realistic and reproducible. Evidence based medicine is not easy task. It needs five difficult steps to be implemented and there are other supporting mechanism to give verdicts when evidence from scientific studies contradicts i.e. Systemic reviews and Meta analysis. Still all that is time consuming so the medical circles together with the epidemiologists and health care personnel would refer to special EBM journals, Critically-Appraised Topics (CATs), Patient- Oriented Evidence that Matters (POEMs) and guidelines in order to save time and get the evidence critically processed. This editorial is written to encourage such activities to enrich the public with truthful information
