Evidence-Based Practice

Meaning

Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is a systematic clinical methodology that requires the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of the current best scientific evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients. In the realm of hormonal health, this means integrating high-quality, peer-reviewed research, such as randomized controlled trials on hormone replacement therapy or nutritional interventions, with the clinical expertise of the practitioner and the unique values and physiological data of the patient. This approach moves beyond anecdote and tradition, anchoring clinical recommendations in verifiable scientific data.
