Modleski: Evidence-Based Medicine Only Effective With Precision

Matt Modleski, vice president of Stovall Grainger Modleski, Inc., weighs the pros and cons of evidence based healthcare. He explains that EBM works well only when the diagnosis is precise, meaning that there is no room for "intuitive medicine" that could lead to more information later being presented to change a diagnosis. Modleski also says that the implementation of EBM is impractical until there is a fundamental change in hospital administration. "We should have a clearer break between the two business models (precise vs. intuitive) and that means completely overhauling the current hospital system and associated outpatient clinics," Modleski says.
