Evidence-based health care is the practice of integrating the best available research evidence with clinical expertise and the patients values, preferences, and circumstances as health decisions are made. Through this unit, you will develop fundamental skills in locating, understanding, and critically appraising research evidence; eliciting patient values and preferences; and implementing evidence-based health care. These skills are highly relevant for current and future health practitioners as well as for those who design, develop, and implement health programs and policy.
