Evidence-based medicine and the search for a science of clinical care / Jeanne Daly
Livre
Edited by University of California Press ; Milbank Memorial Fund - 2005
"In this book, Jeanne Daly traces the origins, essential features, and achievements of research on evidence-based health care and clinical epidemiology over the past few decades. Drawing largely on interviews with key players, she offers unique insights into the ways in which practitioners of evidence-based health care, especially in medicine, set out to generate scientific knowledge about patient care and how, in the process, they reshaped the way health care is practiced and administered." "Daly traces the development of two key tools of evidence-based health-care research: the randomized controlled trial and the systematic review. She concludes that, though the term is invoked more often than its precepts are understood or honored, evidence-based health care is growing in importance despite fierce criticism from a number of clinicians."--BOOK JACKET
