Medical malpractice is a prevalent professional negligence that is often caused by failure to meet current standard of care. A doctor’s service meets standard of care if a medical professional of similar qualifications would do the same thing under the same or similar circumstances. Standard of care, however, is greatly guided by evidence-based medicine (EBM). In proving malpractice claims, medical legal consulting experts compare a doctor’s standard of care to others in the same geographical area, and evidence-based medicine remains a strong contributing factor. An article for Mareej.com shows the importance of incorporating EBM into a doctor’s expert judgment.
