Abstract:
The methodology of evidence-based research -- Informed consent and shared decision making in EBM (Evidence-based medicine) -- Knowledge does not equal evidence what to do with what we have evidence for? -- Homeopathy a case in point why EBM is so important or the plural of anecdote is not data. .
This open access book aims to clarify the term evidence-based medicine (EBM) from a philosophy of science perspective. The author, Marie-Caroline Schulte discusses the importance of evi-dence in medical research and practice with a focus on the ethical and methodological prob-lems of EBM. The claims that EBM can herald a new theory of epistemology and a Kuhnian paradigm will be refuted. The solution is to describe EBM as a necessary development in medicine to deal with the increasing amount of evidence and medical data without loosing the single patient out of sight.
