Evidence-Based Medicine

Since its rise in the early 1990s, evidence-based medicine (EBM) has become a major force in health care. The benefits of EBM are well known: it offers an objective way to determine and maintain high quality standards, it can quickly transform clinical research findings into practice, and it can reduce health care costs.   US Oncology demonstrates its commitment to evidence-based medicine through the development of Level I Pathways, created by network physicians and subject to ongoing rigorous review. Our electronic medical record, iKnowMed, improves EBM by capturing practice-based information about treatment effectiveness on an ongoing basis.
