AB One  of  the  3  key  principles  of  evidence-based  medicine  (EBM)  is  that  the  evidence  alone  is  never  sufficient  to  make  a  clinical  decision  (see  Chapter  2,  What  Is  Evidence-Based  Medicine?).  Clinicians  require  expertise  in  interpreting  the  patient  dilemma  (in  its  clinical,  social,  and  economic  contexts)  and  in  identifying  the  body  of  evidence  that  bears  on  optimal  patient  treatment.  These  considerations,  however,  are  not  enough.  Evidence-based  medicine  requires  that  clinical  decisions  be  consistent  with  the  informed  values  and  preferences  of  the  patient.
