Abstract
The significant impact of preventable medical errors on patient safety and the chasm separating the quality level of current United States healthcare from what the quality level should be are critical public concerns. Using information technology to provide evidence-based medicine (EBM) has been proposed as one of the important initiatives to significantly improve the current situation. The practice of EBM requires access to clinical evidence and a change in the way medical decisions are made. Internet access, mobile devices and clinical decision-support tools are available to assist practitioners with this process. With increasing demands for health care organizations to manage patients according to established clinical evidence and practice guidelines, health care administrators should incorporate at least some aspects of EBM, including the associated expenses, into their IT strategic planning process.
