In the last decade new principles of medical care have being
associated with the term "evidence-based medicine" used in the clinic
and medical science. "Evidence-based medicine - a strengthening of
traditional skills of the clinician in the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and
other areas through a systematic formulation of issues and the application of
mathematical probability and risk assessment. Last scientific conferences taken place in Ukraine noted the extremely
low level of knowledge of the principles of EBM as among clinical researchers
and among doctors. Against the backdrop of lack of knowledge among physicians
of the principles of rational drug use and the flow of low-grade advertising
from manufacturers of medicines, they become the main manipulators of cash
flows in society. EBM requires the most careful analysis of doctors,
scientists, officials and teachers. We must not just understand the basic
provisions of EBM, but also how to apply them in our society. Information retrieval in evidence-based medicine
requires from researcher relevant experience and a systemic approach. For a
successful search for necessary information on evidence-based medicine are
important choices available database of clinical data (MedLine, Cochrane
Library, Adonis, etc.) and development of adequate methodologies for search (by
keyword or phrase, name, etc.). But even with the most careful and skilled
searching is not always possible to find the necessary information to conduct
clinical studies (eg, because of poor indexing or unwillingness to sponsoring
companies to publish negative results of clinical studies). Thus, some of the
necessary data of clinical studies can't be covered. For this reason, when
searching for evidence-based information, computerized selection should complement
other methods of searching: "manual" search of information about
clinical studies, as described does not exist in electronic databases, the
study of literature lists in the retrieved articles; inquiries from researchers
and producers of drugs. Modern Languages EBM
based on the mathematical definition of probability events. That’s why,
EBM is classified as technology. Knowledge is a principle of finding
high-quality clinical information and information in the clinical information
from literature sources in EBM technology. In this case we have to distinguish
the information the doctor extracts from unstructured sources, and various
databases, as well as clinical guidelines, which are the result of the
agreement most respected clinicians in a specific field of medicine. It is
necessary to distinguish the concept of strategy and tactics of treatment. EBM
is designed to determine the treatment plan specific patient. Treatment
strategy, basically, is formalized in the clinical recommendations and treatment
tactics of using the technology of EBM determined by the attending physician,
after examining recent literature, which presents compelling evidence from
studies in patients with similar manifestations for a particular patient's
disease. The practice of clinical decision based on the technologies of EBM is
the primary means of guaranteeing and protecting the patient. Universally
accepted clinical guidelines and new high-quality clinical data allow to protect the patient from the incompetence
and deception. However the good doctor with our current view must not only to
know the current standards of care, but also to violate them, though, because
two identical clinical situations do not happen. Information technology - an
indispensable tool in order to ensure the implementation of ethical
declarations and to provide access to new clinical information. This is a tool
and nothing more. But the modern quality of this instrument can solve almost
any problem. Any activity of a doctor or clinical researcher - an intellectual
activity, ie production of a landmark character. Ukrainian doctors should
actively explore and use new information technologies available to ensure
freedom of communications, access to information and transparency in all that
is happening in society. Thus, the development of technologies EBM has a number
of vital hanges for society in medicine
and clinical science into a relationship with the patient's physician and a
physician with the state.
