Words Matter – Evidence-based medicine

CIPHER created the Words Matter campaign to share and promote a collective understanding of many well-known and used mental health terms that describe various occupationally related challenges many public safety personnel (PSP), healthcare workers (HCWs), veterans, and their families face every day. Evidence-Based medicine (EBM) is the thoughtful integration of the best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values, aiming to provide high-quality and personalized healthcare. EBM has many benefits including consistent and informed care, as well as improved patient outcomes. As a patient, your participation and preferences are valued and carefully considered.
