Hopefully all colleagues in spinal practice, realize, how difficult to achieve perfection in spinal practice, this is related to the varieties of treatment, the complexities of the spinal pathology, and the difference in opinion about even one pathology. Probably as important as the treatment is achieving patient satisfaction, I think almost all spinal surgeons are happy with this conclusion. So the motive behind writing this book is to keep our dear colleagues fully aware of this vital issue, we have to work hard to achieve satisfaction even before cure.

Clinical research presents health care providers with information on the natural history and clinical presentations of disease as well as diagnostic and treatment options. In today's healthcare system, patients, physicians, clinicians and family caregivers often lack the sufficient scientific data and evidence they need to determine the best course of treatment for the patients' medical conditions. Initial National Priorities for Comparative Effectiveness Research(CER) is designed to fill this knowledge gap by assisting patients and healthcare providers across diverse settings in making more informed decisions. In this 2009 report, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Comparative Effectiveness Research Prioritization establishes a working definition of CER, develops a priority list of research topics, and identifies the necessary requirements to support a robust and sustainable CER enterprise. As part of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, Congress appropriated $1.1 billion in federal support of CER, reflecting legislators' belief that better decisions about the use of health care could improve the public's health and reduce the cost of care. The Committee on Comparative Effectiveness Research Prioritization was successful in preparing a list 100 top priority CER topics and 10 recommendations for best practices in the field.

Athletic trainers must have a foundation in the concepts of evidence-based practice to deliver patient care in an effective way. It is critical that students and clinicians formulate clinical plans that will be effective for individual patients. With that goal in mind, Evidence-Guided Practice: A Framework for Clinical Decision Making in Athletic Training teaches the athletic trainer that evidence-based practice concepts must be incorporated into daily clinical practice. Written in a conversational tone, Drs. Bonnie Van Lunen, Dorice Hankemeier, and Cailee Welch provide a practical and concise resource for athletic trainers to use when interpreting what the available evidence means for them and how it can be effectively applied in daily patient care. The competencies within athletic training and other health care professions were considered when each chapter was constructed. Special care was taken to include examples that are specific to athletic training and instructional applications for educators. What Is Inside: Types of research design Foundations of research and statistics Introduction to critical appraisal Concepts of validity Diagnostic accuracy Disablement models Patient-oriented outcome assessments Health care informatics The first of its kind, Evidence-Guided Practice: A Framework for Clinical Decision Making in Athletic Training is the only resource athletic training students, clinicians, or other health care professionals will need to properly put evidence-based concepts into practice.
