Evidence based medicine:
Widely credited to have been coined by Dr. David Eddy of Kaiser Permanente
It is believed that its philosophical base dates back to the sceptics of post-revolutionary France (Xavier Bichat, Pierre Louis, François Magendie)
May have origins in China, B.C.
The conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making clinical decisions about the care of individual patients (Dr. David Sackett, 1996)
Traumatic Injury Research:
Each day, U.S. workers suffer injury, disability, and death from workplace incidents. On average, 15 workers die each day from traumatic injuries. Overall, 5,400 workers died in 2007 from an occupational injury and more than 4 million workers had a nonfatal injury or illness. In the private-sector alone every day, we see 11,500 nonfatal work-related injuries/illnesses with more than half of these injuries/illnesses requiring a job transfer, work restrictions, or time away from the jobs as a result. Among all workers, not just the private sector, 9,000 workers are treated in emergency departments each day, and approximately 200 of these workers are hospitalized. In 2004, this resulted in an estimated 3.4 million nonfatal injuries and illnesses among civilian workers that were serious enough to be treated in hospital emergency departments.
