Know how to distinguish good medical evidence from bad

Do you want to put an end to the battle of the medical experts? How do you know if your medical expert opinion or your opponent’s is supported by the medical evidence?  Would an impartial analysis of both parties’ expert medical opinions help you set expectations for trial, mediation or arbitration?  To answer these questions, you need an expert in Evidence Based Medicine to analyze your case.

For the past 15 years, there has been a dramatic shift in the practice of medicine from reliance on expert opinion to reliance upon rigorous research using a process called Evidence Based Medicine (EBM). EBM is the application of specific medical rules of evidence to arrive at the best possible medical decision.  This has had a far-reaching impact in the medical community where EBM has come to be accepted as the standard by which medical decisions are made.

In the legal community, many cases still turn upon the subjective opinions of medical experts.  Now, using medical rules of evidence there is a more objective way of determining whether those expert opinions are supported by the best available medical evidence.

EBM EXPERT WITNESS

Dr. Daniel Friedland, a national thought leader on Evidence Based Medicine, analyzes your case and determines whether the underlying medical decision making, issues like causation and standard of care, and expert medical opinions are supported by medical research.  In addition, we can help you find and evaluate the most rigorous medical research to help you determine the merits of your case.

Daniel Friedland, MD is a board certified internist and lead author and editor of one of the first books published on Evidence Based Medicine.  For the past ten years he has taught thousands of physicians, pharmacists, nurses and other health related professionals the principles and process of Evidence Based Medicine across the United States.  As such he brings a unique experience to the medical legal community.
