Since becoming more prevalent, evidence-based medicine is now taught in medical schools across the country and is widely used by physicians in medical decision-making and the selection of medical treatment. As such, it has facilitated considerable scholarly debate within legal journals attempting to reconcile its place in malpractice litigation.
The Debate
Some argue that standard-of-care opinion testimony should be based on evidence-based medicine as opposed to “customary practice.” (For more information, see, e.g., Carter L. Williams, Evidence-Based Medicine in the Law Beyond Clinical Practice Guidelines: What Effect Will EBM Have on the Standard of Care?, 61 Wash. & Lee L. Rev. 479 (2004), note 3; Nichole Hines, Why Technology Provides Compelling Reasons to Apply a Daubert Analysis to the Legal Standard of Care in Medical Malpractice Cases, 2006 Duke L. & Tech. Rev. 18 (2006).) This movement has gained some footing, as courts in some jurisdictions have started allowing a mix of evidence-based medicine and experience-based opinions in support of standard-of-care testimony. See generally Ann MacLean Massie, In Defense of the Professional Standard of Care: A Response to Carter Williams on “Evidence-Based Medicine, 61 Wash. & Lee L. Rev. 535 (2004). (Ms. Massie advocates that evidence-based medicine is already being encompassed in the standard of care's traditional experience/custom-based analysis by requiring physicians to stay abreast of the latest developments in the profession.)
