Every hospitalist has his or her own set of clinical skills and experiences and each patient has his or her own beliefs. The current best clinical evidence, however, is universal. How clinicians apply and explain this evidence to individual patients and integrate the evidence into care plans is the art of practicing evidence-based medicine (EBM). This chapter provides practical guidance on formulating questions and uses clinical examples to discuss how to efficiently and effectively use and search the medical literature.
