Evidence Based Medicine
Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is the systematic approach of integrating the clinician’s expertise, the best-available research evidence, and the patient’s needs and values into a customized treatment plan. This is known as the EBM Triad (see figure below).
Clinical expertise refers to the clinician’s cumulated experience, education and clinical skills. At The Mind Store our clinicians have over 35 years of combined experience in private and public practice.
Patient Values and Expectations
The open and honest collaboration between clinicians, patients and their families is at the heart of our approach. We honor our patient’s unique preferences, concerns, expectations, environment, culture, and values regarding health and well-being.
Best External Evidence
It is the role of the clinician to review and interpret the best external evidence to develop effective treatments for patients. Links to some of the studies and research data that we refer to on an ongoing basis are listed at the bottom of this page.
Individual Clinical Expertise
At The Mind Store, we put the EBM Triad into practice with every patient we work with. Evidence-based clinical practice ensures that all our patients receive customized treatments that will assist them in achieving their mental health and wellness goals.
