In the fields of healthcare and rehabilitation, the importance of providing treatment based on 'scientific evidence' has become a universally accepted standard that no one would deny. However, when we hear the word 'evidence,' do we truly understand its meaning and how it connects to the clinical floor?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this article, we will sort out the differences between the frequently heard terms EBM (Evidence-Based Medicine)<\/strong> and EBP (Evidence-Based Practice)<\/strong>, alongside the perspective of Practice-Based Evidence (PBE)<\/strong>, which has been gaining attention in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The mainstream of traditional scientific approaches has been a top-down perspective of how to bring evidence proven by randomized controlled trials (RCTs) down to the clinical floor (Evidence-to-Practice).<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the actual real-world clinical setting, unlike a laboratory under strict control, is a complex place visited by patients with diverse backgrounds. This is where difficulties in communication between researchers and clinicians, as well as gaps, arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is why the reverse direction, the concept of 'Practice-to-Evidence,' becomes important4<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Proposed as an alternative approach to traditional RCTs and conventional observational studies is 'Practice-Based Evidence (PBE)' by Susan Horn and colleagues4<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Neither the top-down perspective of how to bring research-proven interventions down to the clinical floor (Evidence-to-Practice) nor the bottom-up perspective of spinning data from the realistic practices of daily clinical work (Practice-to-Evidence \/ PBE) is an absolute, sole correct answer. Rather than being mutually exclusive, these are recognized internationally in clinical and research settings as complementary to one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When emphasizing the importance of PBE, there is a risk of becoming overly conscious of traditional EBM and EBP and falling into a trap of verbal opposition. What matters most is that we continue to engage in careful, respectful communication across professions and roles regarding 'which evidence we are capturing, how we perceive it, and how we apply it to the patient right in front of us.' Particularly when the word 'evidence' is left to walk on its own, it often becomes difficult to share the nuances behind each perspective, leading to misunderstandings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even if expressions and approaches differ, the underlying essence remains unchanged: we are all striving toward the goal of 'providing better care for our patients.' Without being swayed by the sound of words or temporary trends, understanding the strengths of each concept and continuing to face our patients with sincerity is, I believe, what matters most in clinical practice moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Introduction: The Current Landscape of \"Evidence\" in Healthcare and Rehabilitation In the fields of healthcare and rehabilitation, the importance of providing treatment based on 'scientific evidence' has become a universally accepted standard that no one would deny.
