Using Cochrane evidence in EBM Guidelines• Evidence summaries are written by salaried
physician editors from all Cochrane reviews that are relevant to the topics of EBM Guidelines
• 2765 Cochrane reviews are cited in EBM Guidelines evidence summaries by 9/2011
![Page 10: Implementing Cochrane evidence via EBM Guidelines and EBMeDS](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062809/568159f6550346895dc74230/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
EBM Guidelines uses a slightly modified GRADE system

Standard wording for evidence and recommendations• The evidence summaries use standard
wording for evidence and recommendations• See www.ebm-guidelines.com/dtk/ebm01066

Updating
• Evidence-driven– Continuous scanning of the literature– When new important evidence is published,
evidence summaries and recommendations are updated
• Both scheduled (every 2 – 3 years) and (interim) continuous updates
• The salaried Editorial Team is responsible for initiating the updates

Ratio of opened guidelines and evidence summaries
• EBM Guidelines Finnish version 93.7
• EBM Guidelines German language version 19.3• Finnish national Current Care Guidelines via 4.0
professionals’ portal• Finnish national Current Care Guidelines via 1.3
Current Care website• EBM Guidelines English language version 1.1The ratio reflects the context of use: only guidelines are opened during patient encounters; evidence summaries are opened during learning (CME) and preparation of presentations

Clinical decision support (CDS)
• Recommendations in the form of CDS rules trigger reminders automatically if patient data suggest that there is potential for improvement.
• Example:The patient has asthma and is using a non-selective beta-blocker – switch to selective beta-blocker

The EBMeDS decision support service can be integrated with any electronic health record via XML messaging (see www.ebmeds.org)

Example of decision support and quality reporting for a population of 16 000(a virtual health check)
• Cardioselective beta-blockers for patients with asthma:
No reminder (selective beta-blocker 32
in use)
Reminder: Asthma – switch to selective 4 beta-blocker?
Guideline compliance = 0.89(n = 36)
89% of patients with asthma and beta-blocker used the right type of beta-blocker.
