What is Evidence Based Medicine (EBM)?
"A systematic approach to medicine in which doctors and other health care professionals use the best available scientific evidence from clinical research to help make decisions about the care of individual patients. A physician’s clinical experience and the patient’s values and preferences are also important in the process of using the evidence to make decisions." (Source: National Institutes of Health)

Within EBM, the quality of evidence is organized by a hierarchy. It is organized based on the strength and quality of the information assessed. The strongest forms of evidence include systematic reviews and meta-analysis at the top of the pyramid. As you move towards the bottom of the pyramid, evidence becomes more broad and includes things such as observational studies and basic science searching.
