265.883 Physicians and Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM):
MSSNY, in its deliberations and advocacy, will support the development and use of high-quality evidence-based medicine as a guide to treating patients, provided, however, that the ultimate decision for care for each patient must rest with the physician determining the most appropriate care and treatment for their patient based on the patient’s unique health care needs; and that evidence-based guidelines should not form the sole basis for health plan payment policies or liability. (HOD 2011-65; Reaffirmed HOD 2014-108; Reaffirmed HOD 2024)
