Data-Driven Decision Making

Meaning

Data-Driven Decision Making in a clinical context is the process of basing therapeutic choices, protocol adjustments, and diagnostic conclusions primarily on objective, quantitative evidence derived from laboratory results, physiological metrics, and measurable patient outcomes. This systematic approach minimizes reliance on anecdotal evidence or generalized protocols, ensuring that every intervention is justified by the individual patient’s unique biological data profile. It elevates clinical practice to a level of scientific precision, directly linking cause and effect.
