EBM Reports
How to Make Better Decisions
An EBM report will provide you with an answer to a predetermined question based upon the best available evidence from the 4 central sources of information used in the EBM process.
​
- Practitioners
- Stakeholders
- Organizational data
- Scientific literature & Research
​
Information from these sources combined with Bayes theorem will estimate the likelihood for a question/hypothesis is supported or not by the procured evidence.
Research Reviews
- Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses
Specific Input to the Decision Process
The purpose of a systematic review (SR) is, to sum up the best available research on a specific question. A systematic review refers to the process of systematically locating and collating all available information on an effect using a transparent procedure.
Meta-analysis refers to the statistical techniques used to combine this information to give an overall estimate of the effect in the population.
​
Together, systematic reviews and meta-analyses can help to clarify the state of a field of research, determine whether an effect is constant across studies, and discover what future studies are required to demonstrate the effect.
- Rapid Evidence Assessments (REA)
- Critically Appraised Topics (CAT)
Courses
​
1) Evidence-based Management:
- Introduction to EBM
2) Evidence-based Management:
- How to use EBM to make better decisions
Rapid Evidence Assessments (REA) and Critically Appraised Topics (CAT) have the same purpose as SR but are both lighter versions of a sytematic review. (CAT the lightest) These types of reviews can be used when time and/or resources are constrained.
Learn How to Improve Your Decision Process
Evidence-based management isn’t just a list of techniques that you can memorize, mimic, and install. It is a perspective for traveling through organizational life, a way of thinking about what you and your company know and what you don’t know, what is working and isn’t, and what to try next.

The 4 sources of evidence (A-D) and the 6 steps (1-6) in EBM
De 4 sources:
A - Practitioners - Experience from professionals and practitioners
B - Scientific Literature - Empirical studies from academia.
C - Stakeholders - Input fra people affected by the decision.
D - Organisation - Input from data, facts and numbers from the organization.
De 6 steps:
1. ASK
2a/3a. ACQUIRE and APPRAISE - Evidence from practitioners
2b/3b. ACQUIRE and APPRAISE - Evidence from scientific literature
2c/3c. ACQUIRE and APPRAISE - Evidence from stakeholders
2d/3d. ACQUIRE and APPRAISE - Evidence from the organization
4. AGGREGATE and Bayes theorem
5. APPLY
6. ASSESS
- How do we use EBM in the future?
- Etc.
3) Evidence-based Management:
- How to conduct systematic reviews and
meta-analyses (Specialist Course)
What is a Systematic Review and how do we conduct one.
In this course, we will look at some of the earlier mentioned issues more in-depth. E.g. how to formulate the relevant problem, search for the literature, gathering information from the studies, evaluating the quality of studies, analyzing, integrating the outcomes of studies, interpreting the evidence and finally presenting the results.
​
Systematic Reviews and meta-analyses are a vital part of the Evidence-based management approach to decision making.
​
4) Evidence-based Management:
- How can we as an organization work
with EBM
​
How Can We as an Organisation Work With EBM
As mentioned earlier evidence-based management is a perspective for travelling through organizational life and the more employees that are familiar with the basis of EBM the more efficient the organization becomes in making better decisions.
