Evidence Based Practices

<p>Education in the medical colleges in some parts of the world and treatment of the patients in most parts of the<br />world is leaning towards evidence based practices and medical ethics are no exception to this trend. The ethical<br />values of the society are changing since the days of Hippocrates when the moral values were controlling the<br />profession and earning of money by medical professionals. Following these values sometimes lead to lot of<br />dilemmas in the medical profession. Due to increasing investments in the medical establishments and emergence<br />of corporate hospitals aims and visions of healthcare providers are changing and ethical dilemmas are cropping up<br />while treating the patients. Evidence based ethics are definitely a patient centered approach where individual<br />cases can be treated depending upon the available evidence and it will be easy to solve the ethical dilemmas in a<br />way where the interest of patients as well as health care providers are not laid up. It is better to know the good<br />points of any emerging field but simultaneously it is our duty to know the limitations of the same.</p>

Medicine is a moral enterprise as well as a scientific one. It is as important to give reasons for the ethical aspects as it is for the scientific aspects of a decision. The corollary of evidence-based medicine is reason-based ethics. Two concepts central to many ethical aspects of clinical practice are autonomy and best interests....

ABSTRACTLast decade has witnessed a spurt in articles focused on the topic of evidence-based medicine (EBM) and medical ethics. These articles are not only educative, but draw attention to the changing scenario of medical practice. Surgeons seem a bit less attentive to practice of EBM, more so in the developing world. The theme is now percolating in our realm for demonstrable incorporation of EBM in our practice, which is allegorical of a good physician and is also likely to become demanding legally. In practicing EBM, several conflicts may arise with the ethical vows of medicine. However, majority of these conflicting issues have germinated from a capitalistic approach to medical practice, where the fear of extraneous compulsions dictating prescriptions and procedures in the garb of ′evidence-based practice′ conflicts ethical behaviour. This review shall appraise the reader with important definitions of medical ethics, EBM and how to incorporate best evidence into ones practice. While, EBM brings objectivity to treatment to derive measurable outcomes it should not become regimented or metamorphose as a pseudonym for defensive medicine to escalate treatment costs. EBM also has several limitations one of which is to place the onus on the practicing physician to search for the best evidence and the other is the resource constraint of practice in the developing world. How a plastic surgery practice could be made to conform to evidence based (EB) procedures is proposed as insufficient surgical skills can pose a serious threat to not only the practice of EB procedures, but to ethical responsibilities as well. In conclusion, it is necessary to incorporate ethical temperance into EB procedures to withstand societal, peer and legal pressures of current times.
