Shaping Evidence-Driven Practice: The Evolving Role of Healthcare Research
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.71395/Abstract
Evidence-based practice has become a defining pillar of contemporary healthcare. More than ever, clinicians are required to make decisions that reflect not only empathy but also the support of credible, rigorously tested research (1). When clinical actions are guided by strong evidence, patient care becomes safer, outcomes improve, professional responsibility is rein- forced, and variations in practice are reduced. In an increasingly complex healthcare landscape, relying on a solid research base has shifted from being an advan- tage to a fundamental necessity.
