1. Aim and Scope
JEBMH is a national journal publishing research from India. The aim of this journal is to publish articles relevant to medical field which follow the principles of ‘Evidence Based Medicine’. To authors who wish to publish articles in this journal, we would like to explain briefly about ‘Evidence based Medicine’ so that they can verify whether their research paper fits into the scope of this journal.
Evidence based medicine emphasises on practicing medicine based on evidence derived from well designed and well conducted research. It not only helps in treating an individual patient more effectively but also in forming policies related to healthcare which influences an entire community. It also helps in creating effective teaching programmes for medical students and Continued Medical Education (CME) programmes for medical professionals. Evidence based medicine reduces, variations in medical practice among medical practitioners, errors in clinical reasoning, lacunae in evidence, weaknesses in decision making and unnecessary procedures. Evidence-based medicine is a set of principles and methods intended to ensure that to the greatest extent possible, medical decisions, guidelines, and policies are based on and consistent with good evidence of effectiveness and benefit.
