Evidence-based medicine available online Clinical faculty members, medical students and residents at the University now have access to a new online resource of medical information. The University has licensed evidence-based medicine guidelines and care-management tools from EBM Solutions. The practice of evidence-based medicine is the careful integration of current clinical research and the health-care provider's experience with their patients' understanding and personal values. EBM Solutions is a Web-based information resource that offers guidelines and interactive care-management tools on more than 85 key clinical conditions and medical disorders, from asthma to weight loss, each available in versions for patients and physicians. The Internet platform was created both to counter the proliferating number of Web sites with unverifiable or inaccurate medical information and to reduce unwanted variation in patterns of current clinical practice.
