Evidence-Based Health Services Management is defined as the "systematic application of the best available evidence to the evaluation of managerial strategies for improving the performance of health services organizations."1 This stance draws from the paradigm of evidence-based medicine, but focuses on the application of evidence to systems and organization level decision-making in the context of health services.
