Rethinking our Guideline System: Returning to Evidence Based Medicine as it was Originally Intended
Journal Title: Journal of Hypertension and Management - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The scientific literature is burgeoning at an alarming rate, making it impossible for physicians to integrate, let alone read even a miniscule portion of publications. The STM, a global organization whose aim is to disseminate results of high-level research and publications, recently assessed the magnitude of the literature boom. In 2012 they reported that 1.8 to 1.9 million papers were published in 28,100 active scholarly journals. With regulatory demands equally explosive, how are physicians to find time to remain current with medical science and still provide quality care for their patients? One solution has been the creation of evidence-based guidelines.
