זהו תהליך של בחינת ראיות של מחקרים מדעיים לפני ההחלטה על טיפול הולם. עוד על התהליך ואיך הוא נעשה בספר זה.
This process of looking at the state of the evidence before making a decision is called evidence-based medicine or evidence-based health care. It means based on scientific evidence or supported by proof. It means not relying only on the views of experts, but on the most objective knowledge as well.
The goal is to help patients get the most appropriate treatment for them.

How do we know whether a particular treatment really works? How reliable is the evidence? And how do we ensure that research into medical treatments best meets the needs of patients? These are just a few of the questions addressed in a lively and informative way in Testing Treatments. Brimming with vivid examples, Testing Treatments will inspire both patients and professionals.
