Abstract

Evidence-Based Medicine acknowledges Evidence-Generating Research that informs clinical practice but does not wholly determine patient decisions. As it matures, it will be widely applied, and with further development it may become a complete Theory of Medical Choice. Experience with Evidence-Based Medicine can inform the broader pursuit of an Evidence-Influenced Society.
