In the 1980s, the term "evidence-based practice" was developed to represent a process for selecting the best course of action based on available scientific data. The push for evidence-based practise started in England in the early 1990s. Making decisions about a patient's care using the best available evidence is known as evidence-based medicine (EBM) or evidence-based practise (EBP). Evidence-based practising is both a methodology and a way of thinking. The idea is founded on the moral precept that patients have a right to get the best interventions possible. Finding and putting into action those interventions is how we go about using the EBP methodology.
