Learn about the EBM Focus series and meet the team deciphering the evidence. ![Introducing the EBM Focus Series blog image ](/sites/default/files/acquiadam-assets/Introducing-the-EBM-Focus-Series-blog-image-780.png) 13 February 2019 Evidence based medicine (EBM) is the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients ([Sackett et al 1996](https://www.bmj.com/content/312/7023/71)). To practice EBM, physicians need to find and evaluate research data from the medical literature and apply these results in clinical practice — no easy task when new research is published approximately every 30 seconds. [*DynaMed*®](http://www.dynamed.com/) editors monitor a large volume of research information on a daily basis through the process of Systematic Literature Surveillance, which includes monitoring more than 250 medical journals, systematic review collections and guideline organizations. New evidence is integrated into existing content every day, and overall conclusions are modified as appropriate, representing a synthesis of the best available evidence. By using *DynaMed*, busy practicing clinicians can focus on applying clinical evidence to direct patient care. Each week, research articles are selected by the editorial staff that are “most likely to inform clinical practice” and the EBM Focus article highlights these studies. The EBM Focus editorial team summarizes the study, adding clinical context and highlighting important caveats for proper interpretation. Rapid open peer review is completed by a team of *DynaMed* contributing editors, and the article is disseminated in a free weekly e-newsletter. Starting next week, the EBM Focus will also be published on the EBSCO Health Notes blog. ### Meet the EBM Focus editorial team (2022): [**Alan Ehrlich, MD, FAAFP**](/health-notes/bio/alan-ehrlich-md) is the Executive Editor at *DynaMed* and a Clinical Associate Professor in Family Medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. **[Katharine DeGeorge, MD, MS](/health-notes/bio/katharine-degeorge-md-ms)** is a Deputy Editor at *DynaMed* and an Associate Professor of Family Medicine at the University of Virginia.
