Evidence-based medicine is a movement that assumes care will be better, safer, and more cost-efficient when physicians base clinical judgments on solid empirical science instead of clinical observation and experience. But who creates such guidelines, how good is the evidence underlying them, and why are these guidelines more important than ever? And are data and intuition mutually exclusive? Guest Dr. Steven Pearson, founder and president of the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review at Massachusetts General Hospital and an expert in the area of evidence-based medicine, joins host Dr. Bruce Bloom to discuss the confluence of art and evidence in medicine.
