Science BasedEvidence-

Based Ayurveda (SBEBA) is

the integration of the best

Science Based Evidence with

the clinical situation and the

patient .

Why Teach and Practice

SBEBA?• The society deserves to acquire the best

scientific outcome of Ayurveda.

• Research has documented that patients who

do receive Science Based Evidence-Based

Ayurveda have better outcomes than those

who don’t.

• It may be a more efficient means to improve

the state and national economy.

• Improved disease care and efficient health

care .

Developments

• Efficient strategies for tracking and appraising “Science Based Evidence”.

• Availability of appraisal techniques to all the physicians of Ayurveda .

• Continued Medical Education for physician training.

• Information systems allowing access to resources in seconds.

Objectives

• Hands-on, real-time learning of skills

necessary to incorporate SBEBA into your

daily practice of medicine.

• Provide the opportunity to apply these skills to

actual clinical encounters.

• Apply and teach what you learn.

Steps in Practicing SBEBA

1. Confirm what you really want to do and how

you will do.

2. Seek science based guidelines(evidence)

for step 1 .

3. Appraise the evidence in the sequential

order of Evidence Triad Approach ( Silver-

Golden- Diamond)

4. Integrate the Diamond evidence with the

clinical situation in the patient.

Advantages

• Short time.

• Availability of coherent and consistent scientific evidence which ensures the best treatment.

• Possibility of applying evidence to care of every individual patient.

• Abolishment of barriers to the practice of quality medicine (e.g. costs, patient expectations, etc.).

Putting Skills into Practice

• Seek Evidence Triad Support for clinical decision made on each of your inpatients.

• Seek Evidence Triad Support for clinical decision made on your OP patients

• Encourage the students and colleagues you work with to follow your lead.

• Work as a team to seek and appraise the Science Based Evidence Based protocols.

is the backbone of practicing

SBEBA. It takes constant

practice to accurately learn

and apply Science.

• Focus scarce learning time on the pertinent evidence

directly relevant to patient situation .

• Intense and complete learning of the situation based

on Science..
