The main aim in writing this book is to help those people who have to make decisions about groups of patients and/or populations base such decisions on a careful appraisal of the best evidence available. Within the book, a framework has been presented to increase evidence-based decision making within health services. As such, the contents cover three main topics: 1) finding and appraising evidence, 2) developing the capacity of individuals and organisations to use evidence, 3) implementation - getting research into practice.
