The growing volume of health-related research presents a practical challenge for practitioners. It is difficult to stay current with the latest scientific information, and controversy about bias or applicability of research to specific populations will often complicate matters further. Many practitioners recognize the need for current, substantive guidance to provide state-of-the-art care. In line with this trend, the National Academy of Medicine (formerly Institute of Medicine) supports that quality health care must be evidence-based. 1 Institute of Medicine Committee on Quality of Health Care in ACrossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century.
